When investors looks for dividends, they often opt for venerable blue-chips like Verizon (VZ), Procter & Gamble (PG) or McDonald’s (MCD). But it’s important to remember that size — or the size of the company, that is — isn’t everything.
Instead, some small-cap stocks — with market capitalization under the $2 billion mark — offer some hefty payouts as well, with many yields sitting in double digits.
Sure, playing such dividend stocks obviously comes with a little more risk, but the small size also means there’s more potential for reward. A sleepy telecom like Verizon might give you steady income, but its shares are never going soar. With small-caps, on the other hand, share appreciation — and rapid share appreciation at that — isn’t out of the question.

- [By Rex Moore]
Brazilian jet-maker Embraer (NYSE: ERJ ) has long been a high flyer in the commercial aviation sector. Recently, however, the company has been growing its executive aviation and defense segments.
- [By Ben Levisohn]
Shares of Boeing have dropped 1.6% to $130.92 at 3:26 p.m. today, while Embraer (ERJ) has fallen 1.3% to $33.68 and Airbus Group (EADSY) has declined 1.9% to $17.47.
- [By Dan Caplinger]
Yet despite those concerns, Boeing doesn't have many direct competitors that airlines could turn to for alternatives. Rival Airbus has seen its own order backlog skyrocket to more than 5,100 planes in the face of large new orders, leaving it ill-prepared to handle a mass movement of customers away from Boeing. Embraer (NYSE: ERJ ) , which specializes in regional jets, is expected to see its profit double for the June quarter amid accelerating earnings growth, but it has no plans to start producing large-scale aircraft that could meet airlines needs. The same is true for Textron (NYSE: TXT ) , whose Cessna division has seen its segment revenue jump more than 20% in the past two years. Catering to the corporate-jet and small-aircraft market, Cessna poses no threat to Boeing, leaving the aerospace giant's customers without viable alternatives to obtain commercial-sized jetliners.
- [By Ben Levisohn]
Shares of Boeing have dropped 8.9% this year, after gaining 84% in 2013. Airbus (EADSY), by comparison, has fallen 9.2% in 2014, after gaining 94% last year, while Embraer (ERJ) has gained 6.4% this year after rising 14% in 2013.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Rich Duprey]
The simple news is that investor advisory service Institutional Shareholder Services has put its imprimatur of approval on the proposed $20.1 billion acquisition of Sprint (NYSE: S ) by Japan's Softbank, dealing an apparent blow to a higher, competing bid by DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH ) , which has offered $25.5 billion.
- [By Anders Bylund]
Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S ) and Clearwire (NASDAQ: CLWR ) are nearing the end of their multiple bidding wars. Figuring out what Japanese wireless vendor Softbank and all-American broadcaster DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH ) might get is tough enough, but hardly the whole story. This drama is so complicated, one of the targets (Sprint) is even bidding on the other one (Clearwire).

Perhaps Verizon should have made this issue more public and not agreed to it without a good public fight, and in that way forced all of its peers to also bear this weight today, if they are not involved. Though it was restricted in that way due to the issue's secret status. Since it seems logical and probable that other telecommunications providers are involved, Verizon should make a major PR effort to clear its name or at least bring in the names of its peers into the judgment pool. Verizon is at the center of the spotlight because of the Guardian article that broke the news, and because it is the largest telecommunications company in America. I believe it could mitigate any brand damage I'm speaking of here if it can implicate its most important peers as well, including AT&T (T), Sprint Nextel (S), Comcast (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable (TWC) and the rest, in the same mess.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
Transcept Pharmaceuticals (TSPT) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary products that address important therapeutic needs in neuroscience. This stock closed up 6% to $2.98 in Thursday's trading session.
Thursday's Range: $2.81-$2.99
52-Week Range: $2.77-$6.77
Thursday's Volume: 138,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 158,095From a technical perspective, TSPT spiked sharply higher here right above some near-term support at $2.77 and back above its 50-day moving average at $2.95 with decent upside volume. This move is quickly pushing shares of TSPT within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if TSPT manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.16 to $3.25 with high volume. If that breakout hits, it would also push TSPT outside of a large consolidation pattern the stock has been in for the last three months.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TSPT as long as it's trending above some key near-term support at $2.77 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 158,095 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then TSPT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $4.23 to its 200-day moving average at $4.50. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $4.89 to $5 into range for shares of TSPT.
- [By Roberto Pedone]
An under-$10 biotech stock that's trending very close to triggering a near-term breakout trade is Transcept Pharmaceuticals (TSPT), which is focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary products that address important therapeutic needs in neuroscience. This stock has been hit hard by the bears so far in 2013, with shares off by 36%.
If you take a look at the chart for TSPT, you'll notice that this stock has been trending sideways inside of a big consolidation pattern for the last three months, with shares moving between $2.71 on the downside and $3.25 on the upside. Shares of TSPT are counter-trending higher today in the face of a very weak tape. This move is starting to push the stock within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade above the upper-end of its sideways trading chart pattern.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TSPT if it manages to break out above its 50-day moving average at $2.91 a share and then once it takes out more near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.16 to $3.25 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 138,444 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then TSPT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $4.23 to its 200-day at $4.39 a share. If those levels get taken out with volume, then TSPT could easily hit its next major overhead resistance levels at $5 to $5.50 a share.
Traders can look to buy TSPT off weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below its recent low of $2.71 a share. One can also buy TSPT off strength once it clears those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
