Best of the Best: Today's Top Investment Ideas
The Timely Ten: Quality and yield Print E-mail Digg It!
Tuesday, 08 April 2008

 Using a proprietary strategy that assesses historic level of stock price to yield.  Investment Quality Trends seek stocks showing "the best potential for downside protection and upside appreciation."

Editor Kelley Wright explains his time-tested methodology and highlights his current "Timely Ten" stocks that best match his time-tested criteria.

"Investors who wished to hold every stock in that we currently rank in the 'Undervalued and Rising Trend' categories, would need to hold one hundred twenty six stocks as of March; clearly too many positions to be practical.

"Our Timely Ten, therefore, is our reasoned expectation based on our methodology and experience for what we believe will perform best over the next five years.

"Do we believe that all 10 will go up simultaneously or immediately? Of course not. Our four decades of research and experience, however, leads us to believe that these stocks, purchased at current Undervalued levels, are well positioned for appreciation.

"Whether you are looking to build a portfolio from scratch, are partially invested and looking to add new positions, or fully invested and in need of some affirmation and hand holding, the Timely Ten represents our top ten recommendations as of each issue.

"The Timely Ten consists of Undervalued stocks that generally have a S&P Dividend & Earnings Quality rating of A- or better, exemplary long-term dividend growth, and a P/E ratio of 15 or less.

"These stocks also generally show a payout ratio of 50% or less (75% for Utilities), debt of 50% or less (75% for Utilities), and technical characteristics on the daily and weekly charts that suggests the potential for imminent capital appreciation."

Here are Investment Quality Trend's most current "Timely Ten" and their respective dividend yields:

General Electric (NYSE: GE) - yield 3.4%
PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) - yield 2.1%
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) - yield 2.7%
