Rocky’s Weekly Stock Picks

Lot of juicy stocks going ex-div on 9/20!

Too bad we publish on Fridays. Oh well.

Let’s see what’s going ex-div next week.

1. DX - $12.96/share, 12% yield distributed monthly, ex-div 9/23, options trade monthly.
   
   Dynex Capital REIT is a solid, but we do take the view that it’s a semi-risky asset to hold. Either way, we’re not ready to stop buying.
   
   
   

2. POR - $47.87/share, 4.17% yield distributed quarterly, ex-div 9/24, options trade monthly.
   
   Portland General Electric is all we need to know here.
   
   
   

3. LOGI - $86.99/share, 1.47% yield distributed annually, ex-div 9/25, options trade monthly.
   
   Logitech. Great choice for a blue chip buy-and-hold.
   
   With an annual distribution, this is also a great chance for a dividend capture. The only caution here is that the share price historically is neutral. There was a 2020 spike, but things seem to have levelled back out.
   
   In any case, we don’t see any risk here. If you really need 100% of capital back in 60 days, maybe figure that problem out first. Or buy treasury bills (which have zero risk and higher yields right now).
   
   

4. PSEC - $5.48/share, 13.13% yield distributed monthly, ex-div 9/26, options trade monthly.
   
   This has been high yielding for several years, and the share price is trending down over time.
   
   Exercise caution here. You don’t want to end up holding a bag after a long, gradual, liquidation.
   
   Our cutoff is the $5 mark. Then ROI and let it ride.
   
   
   

5. NHI - $83.34/share, 4.31% yield distributed quarterly, ex-div 9/27, options trade monthly.
   
   This is a REIT that holds senior housing, specialty hospitals, and similar assets.
