High-yield index

I haven't come across one yet, so I'm thinking of creating my own. Here are the parameters I'm thinking about.

1) Trades on major US exchange
2) Yield >7.5%
3) Market cap >$500 million
4) Share price >$5
5) Payout ratio <100% (I don't want to include companies and funds like BIF that are essentially high-priced capital return mechanisms)

The payout ratio is the data point that will be a pain to calculate every quarter.

Anyone want to provide input?
