Most if not all of the Season 5 contestants, by some strange coincidence, have the same cell phone, a Sidekick LX from Deutsche Telekom's (DT) T-Mobile.

Rajesh Shant, who is head of European equities for Newton Capital Management, says that when picking high-dividend payers, "you want a dividend that will be maintained or increased, and it doesn't have to be a big increase. Middle-single-digit EPS and dividend growth can be particularly attractive in today's environment." Combine such a dividend payout with modest stock appreciation, and total return can approach double digits. Among the high-dividend payers he likes, Shant lists Deutsche Telekom (DT), with a 2009 expected yield of 7% and cash flow this year that will cover dividends a strong 4.5 times. Its ratio of net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) is 1.7 times.
