17 High Momentum Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with highest beta ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I am a conservative investor and try to minimize my risk.

This strategy is necessary if you have a larger amount of money to take care of or you begin to cry when you lose 10 percent on your book value. The second disadvantage is that you lose performance in a strong up moving market. 

Since 2009, there were nearly no bigger corrections at the market but with low beta and safe haven stocks, your performance would be only half of the return from the markets. What you need to get a push for your portfolio is a high beta stock. I don’t recommend buying them because it’s a definitely riskier strategy and nobody knows when the market turns into a bearish mood.

However, let’s take a look at the high fly momentum stocks from the healthcare sector. Those are stocks with the highest beta ratio from the sector. They have a beta between 1 and 2. With focus on the dividend paying stocks, only 17 stocks from the healthcare sector pay a dividend and being correlated with the market by a factor of up to 2.

One High-Yield is below the results and 16 have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

50 Top Stocks With The Highest Dividend Growth In January 2013

Shares with highest dividend growth from last month by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Dividend growth is one of the biggest wealth drivers. If you buy a stock with a 2 percent yield you might know that this can’t help you. You are right especially when you have invested only $1,000, your dividend income would only $20. That's not much when you consider that you have around $10 trading costs.

Dividend growth helps you to grow your passive income. Normally, a solid stock should double its dividend payments over ten years. This means that your yield on cost would rise to 4 percent.

I often had stocks in my portfolio that beat this growth rates. Sure they were more risky than stocks like Procter & Gamble or Coca Cola but they all had a margin of safety for me. My yield on cost was after 5 years over 10 percent.

Today I like to show you the 50 fastest dividend growth stocks from the last 30 days. There are some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates which indicate a strong business health. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 68.40 percent. Remember, if you have such stocks, your yield on cost goes up over 10 percent in less than two years!

I personally have no stocks from the list. I don’t know why. Maybe there are too many financial and oil stocks on the list. More than half of the results have a current buy or better rating.

32 Stocks Raised Dividends Last Week | Oil & Gas Companies Are Big Players

I love dividends and dividend growth stocks because they are one of my major wealth driver. That’s the main reason why I make a regular screen of the latest stocks with dividend growth on my blog “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. 

I believe that companies with rising dividends should have a well running business and could have a better performance in the long-run. Below is a current list of companies that have announced a dividend hike within the recent week. In total, 32 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 18 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 25.33 percent.

Below the top dividend growth stocks are eight with a high yield. 16 companies are currently recommended to buy or even have a strong buy rating. 

If I scroll through the list, I find many oil and gas companies as well as financial stocks. Banks pay more dividends in order to establish pre-financial crises level. Well, that’s still far away. 

Oil & Gas pipeline operators raised dividends very continuously in the past. They benefit from the fact that America experiences a new oil rush with shale gas and shale oil. The new energy sources must be transported with an infrastructure that does not exist for the time being. 

It could be more interesting to look at railroad stocks. I try to make a screen in the near future. What are your thoughts about the lastest dividend growth stocks? Do you own some of them? Would you buy one of them? Please let me know and leave a comment in the box below!

20 Hottest Technology Stocks | Best Stock Buy Rating List

Technology stocks with highest buy ratings originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Technology fascinates us all also if we are not real techies who wants the latest stuff whatever it costs.

Technology stocks also made many people very rich. Some of the wealthiest and youngest persons in this world made their wealth on the internet or in related industries. I don’t talk about the Page brothers from Google, Facebook's Zuckerberg or Bill Gates.

This alone is a reason why we should observe the technology sector because there is a huge potential of growth at limited cots. Today, I like to proceed with my January research of the most recommended stocks and I do this at the technology sector.

Below is a small list with some fundamentals about tech stocks with the highest buy rating. I excluded stocks with a market capitalization below USD 2 billion because I think the risk should be much higher as for mid-capitalized stocks.

These are the results: Eleven of the best to buy rated stocks pay dividends; nine have a strong buy rating.
