I enjoy creating stock screens as a way to find stocks not already on my watch list. I ran a quick S&P stock screen for dividend stocks that are Strong Buys (5 star) and have a yield of 4% or higher. I am taking a look to see if there are some high quality stocks with high yields that I may want to purchase. This is a good place to start and I will do some additional research to see if I will add any to my portfolio. I need to take a look at some of the communication stocks to add to my portfolio. Currently I have too many banks and no communication companies and just one tech stock, Seagate.
Company Dividend Yield
Altria (MO) 7.23%
AT&T (T) 6.40%
Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY)5.66%

I came across MCHP myself and bought some. I already had some MO and want more.
I also have some T and some WIN. I like your picks.
George,
The screen did come up with some interesting picks. I plan to do some more research on MCHP, T and WIN.
