Normally, like most brokers and analysts, iStock uses these pages for the bullish side of the tape but today, we are venturing over to the dark side. iStock is going to break out the trusty screener and see if we can't identify some companies that are in danger of cutting their dividends.
The first thing we want to find are companies paying abnormally high dividend yields. Anything over 5% is unusual, so let's see how many publicly traded companies offer investors a yield greater than 5% at the moment.
The answer��is 541. Of course, they aren't all in trouble of cutting payments.
Next, we'll focus companies that analysts believe will experience declining sales and profits. We are left with 71 companies with projected shrinking top-lines. Of those, 53 should see the bottom-line shrivel, too.

Logistics hub
Another top stock to consider buying is midstream operator Buckeye Partners (NYSE: BPL ) . While a bulk of the company's assets are in the U.S., the crown jewel is its BORCO storage terminal business in the Bahamas. This asset is of strategic importance to the region as it provides Latin American producers with storage and blending options. As you can see in the map below, the asset's strategic location puts it in the best position to be a regional hub for the movement of crude oil and refined products. If oil production in the region comes as expected, the company has more than enough room to double its current capacity, which means lots of growth potential for investors.� - [By David Dittman]
Question: If I’m relying on dividends for income, does it make sense to sell some or all shares because the price went up 50 percent, Buckeye Partners LP (NYSE: BPL) for example?
- [By Tyler Crowe]
For oil to go from the U.S. to Canada, a ban on oil exports in 1979 means that any company that wishes to export oil to Canada must receive a special license to do so. Both Valero (NYSE: VLO ) and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A ) have these permits to ship oil to is refineries in Canada, and Buckeye Partners (NYSE: BPL ) has just begun shipments of Bakken crude from its refinery in Albany, N.Y., to Irving Oil's refinery in St. John's, New Brunswick. These three companies have been the largest contributors to the spike in oil exports to Canada, but a more open export policy from the U.S. would make this exchange easier.�

The great part about trading is the same thing that can make it a miserable game to play... nothing lasts forever. If you can spot the points in time when the winds blowing a stock are about to change, you can make or save a fortune. If you miss those subtle clues, however, you can lose... big-time. Enter Arotech Corporation (NASDAQ:ARTX) and Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARIA). Both have been well-watched stocks of late, and for food reason - both are big movers, in one direction or the other. Now, however, both ARIA and ARTX� are poised to move in a new direction - opposite directions - and traders looking for a good opportunity may want to take a closer look at both [which is what you're about to do].

One under-$10 biopharmaceutical player that's just starting to enter breakout territory is Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA), which is engaged in the discovery and development of breakthrough medicines to treat cancers by regulating cell signaling with small molecules. This stock has been crushed by the sellers so far in 2013, with shares down huge by 82%.
If you take a look at the chart for Ariad Pharmaceuticals, you'll notice that this stock has gapped down big over the last month, with the first gap sending the stock from around $19 to $4 a share with massive downside volume. The second gap sent ARIA from $4.50 to its recent low of $2.62 a share with big downside volume. Since hitting that $2.62 low, shares of ARIA have now started to rebound off oversold territory, since its current relative strength index reading is 17.92. That move is starting to push shares of ARIA into breakout territory, since the stock is flirting with some near-term overhead resistance at $3.27 today.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ARIA if it manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance at $3.27 and once it clears Thursday's intraday high of $3.38 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 8.03 million shares. If we get that move soon, then ARIA will set up to re-fill some of that second gap down zone that started at $4.53 a share. Shares of ARIA could easily tag its next major overhead resistance level at $5.98 a share if that gap gets filled with strong upside volume flows.
Traders can look to buy ARIA off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support at $3.01 a share. One can also buy ARIA off strength once it clears those resistance levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
