leave everything as "any"...the only thing you want to change is the "Share Data" for "Dividend yield".....change it to 10%. Scroll to the bottom and click "Find Stocks". Then when the new page opens...click the Div/Yld tab in the middle...it will sort by high to low...or low to high for the div %.
then on the right side, you can go look at that particular stock....or just use two browsers and load the ticker in the second browser for whatever finacial website you use. I use yahoo because I know it so well for searching the relevant info I want.
if you click the "quote" link to the right...it takes you to yahoo finance and displays the data. It will give you the basic info and also shows the Div/yield and the amount of the div based on one year.
click on the "historical data" tab and set a date range for at least a couple years...then under "historical prices" select divs only...it will show you the payouts over whatever timeframe you set. I use this to quantify the actual div vs what the main quote page shows....typically it is quite different.
a lot of times you will see a stock saying it pays say 3 bucks at a yield of 25%...but when you go look at the historical div payout, you will find it paid a onetime special div...( which might be once every 5 years...or less often)...and then the "normal" div payout either monthly or quarterly is 30 cents and at 2.5%. I ALWAYS check the div payout over the past 3 years or longer to see how consistent they are....checking the trend of the div is quite important.
some stocks pay monthly...most pay quarterly...so I always manually add up the last few years of actual "normal" divs to verify the div/yield value.
take the last 12 months of divs...add them up...divide by the current SP...that gives you the yield %.
example
div is .15 cents paid monthly...SP is $20.00.
.15 x 12 = 1.8...thats $1.80 per year in divs.
$1.80 divided by SP of $20.00 = .09....that equates to 9% annual yield for that one year.
I do a lot of paper trading...I find a stock I'm interested in...graph it in excel...and do some research....a lot of times I choose not to invest...some I do. Research is FREE...ya just have to dig for stuff...and as you learn...you find places to go for info...the message boards will give you a lot of good insight on stocks to check. never invest based on what someone says on a message board...rather use that info to run some DD and make that decision for yourself...if your comfortable...go for it.
this stuff above just scratches the surface...as I said earlier...been doing this over 40 years, and still have a lot to learn.
