How boring can you get?

A company that packages up financial products for community

banks.A company that manufactures

mattresses for baby cribs.

Page 6: Boring But Beautiful:  Our Latest 3 Bargain Dividend Stocks

And a company that makes signs for gas stations.

They’re not thrilling, but they pay dividends. And you can buy each

one of these “boring” dividend stocks for less than $10.

What If You Ran A Small Town Bank?

Page 8: Boring But Beautiful:  Our Latest 3 Bargain Dividend Stocks

There’s something you’d figure out in a hurry.

The only way you compete against the big guys is with your service.

But no matter how friendly your loan officers and your tellers are, you still need something to sell... home equity

lines of credit, money market accounts, and all sorts of fiduciary services.

First Busey Corp (BUSE)

You get these retail and commercial banking products and services from a company like First Busey Corporation

(BUSE).

Like everybody else in the banking business, First busey has been through a rough stretch. Sales are skidding, off

9% over the past five years.

But the company pays a nice dividend, and even though sales are sluggish and the stock price is down,

some good things are happening.

Important things. The company is strengthening its balance sheet and

reducing its long-term debt.

And while its profit margins aren’t anything to brag about, First Busey

is trending in the right direction, growing its margins, and becoming

more profitable.

Crown Crafts, Inc. Com. (CRWS)

Bedding and blankets for infants and toddlers. Changing mats, bibs, burp

cloths, and toilet seat covers.

Products like this aren’t exotic. But they are essential, and that’s why Crown Crafts, Inc. (CRWS) plugs

away growing its revenue and paying dividends. Sales are increasing and so is income.

Crown Crafts, Inc. Com. (CRWS)

There is zero long-term debt. And earnings per share have been going

up.

This is one of those companies that quietly flies under the radar. Not many analysts follow it, and it’s thinly traded, usually less than

25,000 shares a day.

But if you’re the kind of investor who loves a simple business, where

next quarter’s earnings don’t depend on a technology

breakthrough, you’ll love Crown Crafts.

Does The CFO Know Something Most Investors

Don’t?

You pull into the gas station at night, and the big sign that’s lit up on the

canopy over the pumps is blazing away.

Or you’re at the counter in a fast food place checking out the menu on the

sign.

Chances are good you’re looking at something built by LSI Industries

(LYTS).

LSI Industries (LYTS)

LSI manufactures all kinds of backlit LED signs. The company

markets its products to commercial and industrial facilities, gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants, car

dealerships, and sports and entertainment venues.

LSI Industries (LYTS)

The past few years have been a bit rugged for LSI. The big question is

what kind of sales growth the company can deliver. Most analysts

are skeptical.

Page 23: Boring But Beautiful:  Our Latest 3 Bargain Dividend Stocks

LSI Industries (LYTS)

The company is struggling to make money. But we like the looks of

the company’s balance sheet. Even if sales over the next few years are

rugged, and even if its tough to increase margins, LSI’s financial

house is in order. Payout Ratio: 50.0%

Page 24: Boring But Beautiful:  Our Latest 3 Bargain Dividend Stocks

LSI Industries (LYTS)We also like to see a company’s CFO

buy his company’s stock, which happened at LSI this summer.

So, what do you think the sign outside the LSI headquarters in

Cincinnati should say?

Page 25: Boring But Beautiful:  Our Latest 3 Bargain Dividend Stocks

LSI Industries (LYTS)

How about, “You can buy our stock for less than ten bucks, and we pay

a decent dividend.”
