If you go by the headlines they generate, then Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) are the best stocks to buy.
Of course, Money Morning is a fan of these stocks, but there are plenty of stocks out there that can create life-changing wealth that you aren't going to hear about from mainstream pundits.
Fortunately, I used the Money Morning Stock VQScore™ to identify a company that could make you very rich.
This VQ stock pays a mouth-watering dividend yield of 14.08%...
It has one of the strongest financial positions of any stock on the market...
And it's trading at a valuation that makes it a prime takeover target in the future.
All of this would add up to a stock poised to bring a monster return for investors over the next 12 months.
The only downside is the company's operations are extremely boring, and they won't be generating headlines anytime soon.

OSB on TOS Ameritrade the dividend yield is 4.5%. Big difference from your article. Explain please.
My bad $4.50. Yield was 50+ %. Why the difference using the same date 9/28. Notice the price drop from ~$44 area.
I think you are mistaken about the dividend yield. You are basing the yield on a one time special dividend, not the regular dividend. What does that do to your VQ score?
Thanks for your comment, Pete.
A company’s dividend payout does not affect the VQScore, so Norbord’s score will stay the same no matter how much money the company decides to return to shareholders. It just happens to be a nice perk alongside the firm’s growth potential. And the company’s business is booming, which explains its big dividend last quarter.
Norbord has a variable dividend program where payouts are based on the company’s earnings and outlook each quarter. The company nearly doubled earnings last quarter, had “exceptionally strong free cash flow,” and expects demand to keep growing, so they handed a big chunk of money back to shareholders. Norbord increased their dividend four times over the last year and a half thanks to their growing business performance too. So while we can’t predict what the company’s future dividends will be, they’re clearly committed to returning cash to shareholders when their performance merits it.
As such, we’ve followed the traditional dividend yield calculation of dividing their annual dividend ($3.442 + $0.463 + $0.467 + $0.471) by their current share price ($33.27) to report their dividend yield of 14.55%. Other outlets, including Google Finance and FactSet, are reporting Norbord’s dividend yield the same way.
