Please be sure to calculate the payout ratios before buying these stocks. Payout ratios above 70% are cutting it close if you're not prepared for the potential downside risk. The stock symbols next to the company names take you directly to the history of dividend payments. As always, only buy these stocks if you're willing to accept losing at 50%, otherwise, the risk may outweigh the reward. Thanks again to the author of The Stock Market Advantage for the suggestion on including international stocks.

Double digit gains were pronounced for this group except the usual suspect BP along with Total, Telefonos de Mexico and National Grid. The previous list was ranked by dividend yield instead of those closest to the new low. However, all companies on the May 30th list were all within 10% of their respective 52%-week low.
