38 Stocks And ETFs Let Their Dividends Jump Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, 36 stocks and two ETFs announced to raise dividends. It’s great to see how the American dividend stock machine works. Compared to the number of stocks from the recent weeks, the current results are still thin but solid. The list of the weekly dividend grower is very volatile and the number of constituents is between 10 and 100. This week, the average growth rates amounts to 33.8, a value twice as much as the results from last week.

I love it to see how companies increase their dividend payments despite the fact that I would buy only a few of them. The biggest names on the list are Clorox, Coach, Marriott, Macy’s and Potash. Three of the results are High-Yields and 20 have a current buy or better rating.

17 Safest Stocks From The Financial Sector

Financial stocks with low beta ratios and high market capitalization originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The financial sector is still under fire. Low interest rates and higher risks within the bond buying industry make it hard to earn money on investments. As a result, thousands of people lose their job and the sector is shrinking. Bank of America cut its workforce by over 30,000 people and their competitors follow.

Not everything is bad within the financial sector. If you have followed my screens over the past months, you could find there more and more good looking banks and asset managers as well as insurers.

Today I like to discover the best yielding dividend stocks from the financial sector with real safe heaven characteristics. My criteria are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Beta ratio below 1

The stock should have a lower volatility than the overall market. For sure, these are not the only trigger ratios to seek out the highest degree of stability for a stock. Especially in the financial sector are more risks than in other industries. Banks are still black boxes because you never know what kind of risk exposure they have in detail.

The screen produced 17 stocks of which two have a double-digit yield. Eight of them are currently recommended to buy.
