"High-quality stocks bought at historically low-price-to-high-yield offer the best potential for downside protection and upside appreciation," says dividend specialist Kelley Wright.

"The Timely Ten consists of undervalued stocks that generally have a S&P Dividend & Earnings Quality rating of A- or better and a track record for exemplary long-term dividend growth. "In addition, we look for a P/E ratio of 15 or less, a payout ratio of 50% or less, debt of 50% or less, and technical characteristics on the daily and weekly charts that suggests the potential for imminent capital appreciation.
