Dividend Stocks Research, today were
reviewing our recently published article…

5. More Of The Best Long Term Dividend
Stocks

6. Last month, on a rare rainy morning in
Southern California, I headed up I5
toward LA. The traffic clogged at Del Mar.
Looking off through the gray dawn at the
racetrack I thought about its honored

7. guest, 2015 Triple Crown Winner
American Pharoah. American Pharoah is
the first horse to win the Triple Crown
since 1978. And this achievement got me
thinking about what was going on back in

8. 1978, which was not one of the market’s
better years. The Dow started off at 831
and wound up at 805. But dividend
investors made out fine. S&P 500 stocks
paid an average yield of 5.39%.

9. Which just goes to show that down
markets don’t hurt as much when the
dividends are rolling in. And as markets
sputter, dividend stocks will be able to
soften the blow of lower share prices
because of the dividends they pay.

10. Dividend stocks hold up better when the
market goes down. Look at 2008... The
Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index took a
37% hit. But the S&P 500 Dividend
Aristocrats only went down by 22%.

11. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats have
been growing their dividends for the past
25 years. But enough of 1978 and 2008.

12. Let’s pay our respects to Triple Crown
Winner American Pharoah and try to
make some sense of 2015. One of the key
questions we should ask is...

13. “Are The Best Long Term Dividend
Stocks Too Expensive?”

14. Well, they’re definitely not cheap,
especially when it comes to the S&P 500
Dividend Aristocrats.
But now and then you can even find the
Dividend Aristocrats on sale.

15. You pay for quality. That’s pretty much a
given. You’re not just buying income, but
you’re depending on the company’s
ability to consistently grow the dividend
year after year.

16. After all, dividends aren’t much good if
you can’t count on them to keep rolling
in. Are there traps you should watch out
for? Definitely. One of them is investing
in a stock where the company’s products

17. might not make it through a rough
stretch. Even though you’re investing for
the long-term, you’re going to hit cycles.
Just ask a gold miner or a homebuilder.

18. Right now, we see down cycles with
energy companies and the big global
banks. But peel back the layers and look
more closely. Don’t lump every stock in
the same basket, and you’ll turn up some
interesting opportunities in bank stocks.

19. Why The Right Small Banks Can Be
Some Of The Best Long-Term Dividend
Stocks

20. Look carefully and you’ll discover there
are still some smaller, regional banks
that have been able to keep growing their
dividend for the past ten years. When
Bank Of America $BAC and JP Morgan
Chase & Co.

21. $JPM stumbled and cut dividends a few
years back, a handful of smaller banks
weathered the storm. If you are looking
for the best long-term dividend stocks,
and you’re not too fussy about growth,

22. small banks offer some interesting
opportunities. These probably aren’t
stocks where you’ll pile up capital gains,
because the share price likely isn’t in a
position to grow.

23. And keep in mind that even though small
banks have made it through the financial
meltdown, they’re for the most part
battered and bruised. This is a business
of the weak and the strong, the hunters
and the hunted.

24. Don’t be surprised to see consolidation.
But business fundamentals are
improving. Loan quality looks to be
growing stronger. Here are 3 small bank
stocks that pay dividends.

25. 1st Source Corporation $SRCE
Bank Of The Ozarks $OZRK
Commerce Bancshares $CBSH

26. 1st Source Corporation $SRCE pays a
2.06% dividend yield. It’s been growing
the dividend for 29 years and the
Dividend Payout Ratio is 30.4%.

27. Bank Of The Ozarks $OZRK pays a 1.23%
dividend yield. It’s been growing the
dividend for 4 years and the Dividend
Payout Ratio is 27.34%.

28. Commerce Bancshares $CBSH pays a
1.87% dividend yield. It’s been growing
the dividend for 46 years and the
Dividend Payout Ratio is 33.1%.

29. The Right Price To Pay

30. Right off the bat you see that Bank Of
The Ozarks got in trouble a few years
back and had to cut the dividend.
Why invest in $OZRK with its skimpy
1.23% yield when it’s only been growing
dividends for the past 4 years?

31. When you compare it to Commerce
Bancshares and 1st Source Corporation,
it comes in a distant third. Not exactly
Triple Crown material. Bank Of The
Ozarks is expensive with a P/E ratio of

32. 27, and it’s trading right now near its 52
week high. But earnings are strong and
it’s making acquisitions. What about
Commerce Bancshares and 1st Source
Corporation?

33. Commerce Bancshares has also been
trading near its 52-week high. But the
P/E ratio is good, just a sliver over 18.
The same story for 1st Source
Corporation, but an even lower P/E at 14.

34. And this raises an interesting question.
If you’re trying to decide between 1st
Source Corporation and Commerce
Bancshares, do you use the lower price
earnings ratio as your tiebreaker?

35. There can always be different reasons for
a low P/E ratio. Maybe the stock is
undervalued by the market for no good
reason. Maybe it’s undervalued because
nobody’s terribly excited about its future.

36. In the case of 1st Source Corporation
with a low P/E of 14 , you’ve got the
classic case of a stock that’s flying under
the radar. It’s followed by just one
analyst.

38. But why not invest in both? Diversifiy
your risk. Just don’t load up on too many
small bank stocks. The sluggish
economic recovery means the loan
portfolios could still trigger a few

39. surprises, even with examiners keeping a
watchful eye on things. And as for the
price you pay for the best long-term
dividend stocks... Strike a balance. Be
just as concerned about paying too little
as paying too much.
