Qwest: Weisel Upgrades In Quest For Yield

“Given the company’s solid dividend yield and stable wireline fundamentals, we believe shares will now perform in line with its peer group,” he writes. Breen raised his target on the stock to $4, from $3.75.

    I run my fundamental stock screener searching stocks with the highest dividend yield. Report list only companies included in index S&P 500. Not surprisingly except one (GM) there are only financials and banks in top ten. The one of the highest yield was for financials compared to other sectors already before credit turmoils. And after deep fall we can see almost incredible yield over 30% for MBI.
    I list below one more table. Just to show top 10 high dividend stocks purged from financials.
