  • An International Big Yielding Portfolio

    By Ash Anderson - May 12, 2013 | Tickers: LO, RDS-B, VIP

    Searching for high yielders? Oh boy do I have an article for you. These three stocks have a dividend yield exceeding 5%, and they’re all worth more than $1 billion. There really wasn’t that many requirements.

    What makes this set of companies even better is that they represent three totally different countries. That’s right; you’re getting a high yielding international portfolio. Representing Russia we have Vimpel-Communications more »

  • Get Ready for Russian Stocks to Launch Into Orbit

    By Phillip Woolgar - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: MTL, MBT, VIP

    The Russian economy is one of the top-four fastest growing in the world. As part of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), the nation is in an elite group, but the past few years have been disappointing. Many see the lows and decide to invest in other economies, or keep their funds domestic. I'm not criticizing them for doing so -- Russian stock values have plummeted by about a third more »

  • Emerging Markets: Equities vs. Bonds

    By Federico Zaldua - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: ABV, PHI, PCY, VIP

    As an Emerging Markets (EM) bond investor (see my blog) I have had a great year. From Turkey and Indonesia to Mexico and Bolivia new bond issuances are achieving record low yields. As a matter of fact, this year Turkey issued a 30-year bond at a yield below 5% and Mexico made a 10-year issuance at a rate well below 3%. As I have expressed in this blog before, I more »

  • Selling Off a Growing Telecom Unit

    By Mike Thiessen - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: VZ, VIP, VOD

    With the announcement that it had retained UBS (UBS) to help it find a buyer for its Canadian Wind Mobile business, Vimpelcom (NYSE: VIP) set off a firestorm of speculation about its motives and future.

    With Wind Mobile's value estimated at no more than $1 billion, the size of this potential deal is not particularly remarkable. However, the backdrop against which it takes place is notable. For starters, Vimpelcom more »

  • 3 Telecom-Focused Companies Worth Considering

    By Damon Churchwell - March 30, 2013 | Tickers: CIEN, MSI, VIP

    As a continuation of my European Telecoms blog, this posting will start with a look at VimpelCom (NYSE: VIP), a Netherlands-based company with substantial mobile operations. Its largest geographical market being Russia, an emerging economy, VimpelCom shares have upside potential, particularly if investors start to take on more risk. Investors have been somewhat cautious with regard to the stock, despite some favorable metrics.

  • Large Caps with Big Payouts

    By Jon Quast - November 28, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, FTE, SCCO, VIP

    I've been doing some shopping for my portfolio, looking for ways to better round it out.  One thing lacking from my portfolio, with the exception of Bank of America (tongue in cheek), is a dividend stock.  I'd like to get one that pays out a big dividend.  But I don't want the added risk of a small-cap company.  I want the stability of a large cap company more »

  • Which Telecoms to Buy Now?

    By Anh HOANG - October 24, 2012 | Tickers: BT, FTE, TEF, VIP

    These days, whenever I do a screening to find investment opportunities in companies with high dividend yields and high operating cash flow, telecom companies always come up. The high dividend yield may be due to the fact the telecom companies have experienced a large decline in their stock prices. In addition, telecom companies seem to be a cash cow businesses, but many of them leverage heavily. That is why we more »

    By Anh HOANG - October 22, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, FTE, VIP

    In the search for investment opportunities, screening is a very important start. Garbage in, garbage out! Investors need to choose a good screener and select screening criteria in a smart way to detect potential investments. Today, I ran a screen to find good companies for income investors in Motley Fool Caps. Income investors need to invest in companies that are paying a  good dividend yield, so the current dividend yield more »

  • Shining Value Gems Of Russia

    By Edgar Ambart - February 16, 2012 | Tickers: MTL, VIP, YNDX

    Russia has been on everyone’s mind lately as the potential for Iran’s crisis to escalate into a full scale attack can leave oil prices vulnerable.   Since 20% of oil exports pass through the narrow Strait of Hormuz, it is interesting to see whether the big bear will take a neutral stance in the matter, due to crude being its largest exporting commodity.

    By DividendYields - January 6, 2012 | Tickers: T, CTL, CHT, FTE, MBT, NOK, PHI, TI, TEF, TMX, VZ, VIP, VOD

    The technology sector is an interesting investment field due to high growth perspectives. Regrettably, stocks from the sector pay low dividends in order to finance new technologies. Some people may ask themself what are the highest dividends within the sector. Here is a current overview of large capitalized stocks (more than $10 billion market capitalization) with the highest dividend yields. Up to now, there are 80 companies with a large more »
