Gary; One came to mind; of course look at for investment appeal as well as the div. Betz Dearborn (BTL, a stock which I have probably held now for 25 years, and no doubt will be passed on to my heirs. Hitting/near 52 week lows. Just one to think about. I also like Capstead Mortgage (CMO), which has a juicy div. but has gotten trounced lately. It is highly influenced by the ebb and flow of interest rates, so be careful and perform your own DD. There is a CMO thread on SI. Good luck and good luck to all unfairly suffering MO holders.

You might want to try Texaco(TX), they have a dividend of just over 3%. They also plan to buy back a billion dollars worth of stock. Currently, it's at 57 3/4, which I feel is low for them. I am figuring oil prices are going to have to start going higher soon, this should give them a boost, just my opinion. I don't own any now, since, most of my money is in MO. I saw someone mention Capstead Mortgage (CMO). I owned that twice. It keeps going lower. I bought at 21 or so, and after going to 22, it fell to 20, so I sold. I bought back in a few weeks ago at 19 5/8, and sold at 19 1/8. Now it's in the low 18's. So the progression isn't too good. The dividend IS great, it's over 11%, but, I heard there is some doubt whether they are going to be able to keep paying that size dividend. Rob.
