Dividend of the Week - Bloomsbury Publishing A look at the top of the optimizer in DividendMax reveals some interesting names that merit investigation. Many of the high yielders such as Resolution, Admiral, Carillion, SSE and TalkTalk have already been covered as a dividend of the week, but due to the dynamic nature of the optimizer new names are emerging all of the time and merit investigation. Two stocks in particular caught my eye and both appear to have good dividend cover for the high yield. They are two stocks in completely different sectors, neither of which is in particular favour right now.
