Stocks to watch in March

There are some great stocks going ex-dividend in March 2010. Here are a few that I’m keeping my eye on.

I always prefer to buy stock in companies that I’m familiar with. I go to movies at Regal all the time. RGC goes ex-dividend on March 2nd. As of Friday Regal was trading at 14.94 with a yield of 4.7%. The Market cap is 2.3B and the P/E ratio is just over 24.

Another stock you might be familiar with is WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, which goes ex-dividend on March 11th. WWE closed at 17.05 on March 26th and pays a 8.5% dividend yield.

Happy New Year to all you dividend investors out there. I hope that you have lots of success investing in stocks that pay dividends in 2010. We have a few good stocks going ex-dividend in the first week of January.

The first is Kite Realty Group Trust going ex-div on January 05, 2010 with a yield of 5.69%

On January 6, 2010 ATT (T) goes ex-dividend with a solid 5.98% yield. Verizon (VZ) goes ex-dividend that same day with a yield of 5.7%.
