Top 10 Net Payout Yield Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Shares of Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW  ) sank as low as 10% today after the paint specialist announced disappointing second-quarter results and said that its bid to acquire a Mexican company was rejected by antitrust regulators.�

So what: The stock has soared over the past year on solid earnings growth, but today's second-quarter miss -- adjusted EPS of $2.54 on revenue of $2.7 billion versus the consensus of $2.57 and $2.76 billion -- is forcing analysts to scale back their expectations a bit. Additionally, the decision by Mexican regulators to reject Sherman's planned $2.3 billion purchase of paint company Consorcio Comex puts another little dent into its growth prospects going forward.

Now what: Management backed its full-year EPS guidance of $7.45-$7.55 per share and expects sales to grow in the mid-single digits. "Our Global Finishes Group continues to improve its operating margins through improved operating efficiencies and good cost control," said Chairman and CEO Christopher Connor. "The Latin America Coatings Group is managing to improve its core operating margins through selling price increases and good cost control despite the difficult environment in which they are operating." More important, with the stock now off about 15% from its 52-week highs, Mr. Market might be offering a decent opportunity to buy into that bullishness.

    Technology is disruptive. It changes everyone�� daily life. But it also may cause unpleasant financial consequences to investors. Technology brings dramatic economic growth which is, unfortunately, less predictable. In Buffett�� own words when asked in the interview if he would buy other tech companies: �� look at everything but most things I decide I can't figure out their future.��For some examples, just look at Research In Motion (RIMM) versus Apple (AAPL), Yahoo! (YHOO) versus Google (GOOG), and Kodak versus all the other digital camera makers. The last one is especially ironic because it is Kodak that invented the digital camera in the first place.

    AP It's OK to say that Pizza Hut is full of hot air when it comes to its latest marketing move. It almost certainly won't mind. Yum! Brands' (YUM) iconic Pizza Hut introduced a new crust for its hand-tossed pizzas on Thursday. Instead of stuffing crusts with various types of cheese or even pepperoni as it has done in the past, Pizza Hut is promoting the fact that its new hand-tossed pizzas now feature a more airy texture. Pumping more air into the dough is supposed to give the pies less of a cookie-cutter appearance, an unusual choice among chains that sell themselves on their consistency. Every snowflake is unique, but every chain order is supposed to be uniform across the various locations. It's what customers expect. However, just as the term "hand-tossed" conveys a personal touch, having a few more air pockets in the pizzas should generate some retro charm akin to an indie pizzeria. So Pizza Hut is proud of the "noticeable imperfections" of the new pies. It's not that big of a gamble. The rest of Pizza Hut's menu options will remain the same. If this move doesn't "pan" out, it can be quickly replaced with the next evolutionary step of crust stuffing in the pizza giant's playbook. Pizza Hut doesn't stand still, even if it's odd to find it stuffing its pies with air. Pizza Hut is Bigger Than You Think There are more than 14,000 Pizza Hut locations across 100 different countries, making the chain a major component of the Yum! Brands family that also includes Taco Bell and KFC. It could also use a boost. Comparable-store sales at domestic Pizza Hut locations slipped 1 percent in Yum! Brands' latest quarter. These are competitive times, and for Pizza Hut, the challenge now is about more than beefing up its delivery business to compete with Papa John's (PZZA) and Domino's (DPZ), which seem to always have some ridiculous price promotion going on. (This is a business that has become cutthroat enough that Pizza Hut even feels the need to explicitly offer f
