Its hard to find a company that pays out such a dividend. This stock will pay you back over time with the dividend alone. They are also a strong financial company that has built itself up with great management. You can't go wrong here.

I dont expect this stock price to outperform the S&P, but the yield is so great right now I am picking it anyway. Putting this one in my IRA and letting it pay me a great return.

9.27% Yield !! Company's services are still needed even in an economic downturn.I think it's a good stock to own in a sideways market and the benifits only get better as we recover.

This stock was chosen as part of a group of stocks based upon criteria which focused heavily on dividend yield, cash flow, and balance sheet information.

At the current price, this company is a better deal than its bigger rivals T and VZ. To wit: it has a more favorable P/E of 7.22, compared to above 10 for T and VZ. Its price is actually below its book value of $31.52, whereas T and VZ are selling at well above their book values. Its fundamentals are better than T and VZ too, with higher gross and net profit margins, which is surprising given that it is a smaller company than T and VZ. And last but not least, have I mentioned that its dividend yield is about twice as much as T and VZ? (and with a lower payout ratio too, which means its dividend is less likely to be cut). To me, this is a no-brainer. This stock should deserve 5 stars if VZ and T are given 4 stars.

CTL sports a sold 11% dividend to start, and will move with the market more or less. Therefore it's more than likely to beat the S&P over the coming year.

The dividend yield is very high, as soon as the market panic stops this stock will rocket up (and it will pay you very well while waiting).
