Santander�(SAN)'s dividend yield, at an expected 9%, is the highest among large banking institutions, but its payout ratio is as high as it gets at an expected 119% for 2014 ��down from 132% in 2013. As a matter of fact, I would not expect the bank to have a dividend payout ratio below 100% until 2016. Nevertheless, the bank's chairman ��Emilio Botin ��is very much committed to sustaining Santander's dividend and we should not expect this policy to change in the foreseeable future unless the Bank of Spain forbids Santander to keep on distributing cash at the current rate.
On Santander's Quarterly Results
Despite weaker results in Spain and in Latin America (Latin America constitutes almost 70% of Santander's net profits), Santander was able to post decent third quarter results thanks to better currency trends and its ameliorating UK division. Besides, through better credit metrics and cost cutting initiatives, the bank is positioned to show a much better profitability level going forward. As a matter of fact, Credit Suisse's analysts ��who are not specially bullish on the name ��expect Santander's profitability level (its returns on tangible book value) to increase to 14% by 2015 from the current 10%.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Jonas Elmerraji]
We're seeing the exact same setup in shares of toymaker Hasbro (HAS) right now. Like CGG, Hasbro has a horizontal resistance level above shares – at $48 in this case – and uptrending support to the downside. The key difference here is that Hasbro's triangle is more conventional than the one in the French oil stock. A breakout above $48 is the signal to become a buyer.
Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers. Triangles and other price pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in this stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable – instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.
That resistance line at $48 is a price where there's an excess of supply of shares; in other words, it's a place where sellers have been more eager to take recent gains and sell their shares than buyers have been to buy. That's what makes the move above it so significant – a breakout indicates that buyers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess supply above that price level. Wait for that signal to happen before you jump into this stock, then it makes sense to put a protective stop in place at the 50-day moving average.
