Dividend Stocks To Ease The Pain

Look, I don't know whether the market has bottomed out or not after the mess our Congress has made of raising the debt ceiling. However, because my insatiable need for a solid dividend stream is still there, I am always on the lookout for strong earners. Sometimes my dividend-hunting strategy is as simple as running a stock screen with only three criteria: market cap over $2 billion, P/E between 5 and 20, and dividend yield over 8%. Not very sophisticated, I know, but I only use it as a start.

Using the screen this time, I came up with 16 companies that met my requirements, and from those I culled out just three: Annaly Capital Management (NLY), SeaDrill (SDRL) and Cellcom Israel (CEL).
