Making Headlines

In a recent "Stockpickr" article reporter James Altucher asserts: "One way to find favorable investment opportunities is to look at stocks that have just increased their dividend payouts.

A newly raised dividend is a sign that a company's executives and board of directors believe very strongly about the future revenue and earnings of the business."

Altucher goes on to list several companies that have successfully raised dividends in recent weeks, and cites a handful of mutual funds that have invested in certain of these companies, including Royce Opportunity Fund (RYPNX). View the Fund's complete holdings as of March 31, 2008.
