    • Dubai Stocks Could Fall a Further 30%: Charts

        The Dubai stock markets were roiled this week following news that the country needs a deadline extension to its debts totaling $60 billion. The good news is that the benchmark DFM index will likely find support at 1,900, according to analysis of its past trading patterns. The downside, however, is that the index could easily fall to 1,300, if the emirate's debt problems are not contained.

With stocks rallying for over 3 months now, dividend yields continue to fall back to Earth.  Today, two new components join the Dow, one with a dividend and one without.  Travelers [TRV  Loading...      ()   ] has a yield of 2.74% while Cisco [CSCO  Loading...      ()   ], like many tech companies, does not pay a dividend.  Their combined dividends, however, are still higher than the two companies they are replacing, Citigroup [C  Loading...      ()   ] and GM [GMGMQ  Loading...      ()   ], thereby increasing the overall average for the Dow.  The average yield is now 3.11%, far from the 4.5% we saw in early March, but just below the 3.13% we saw one month ago. 

Below is a table listing the yields of all 30 Dow components.  Since April, AT&T [T  Loading...      ()   ] continues to be the highest yielding stock on the Dow.  Verizon [VZ  Loading...      ()   ] has moved ahead of DuPont [DD  Loading...      ()   ] for second and third place.
