5 Undervalued Dividend Stocks By Graham and Buffett

Defensive Investors are defined as investors who are not able or willing to do substantial research into individual investments, and therefore need to select only the companies that present the least amount of risk.

When we look for undervalued companies, we often use metrics from Warren Buffett or his teacher Benjamin Graham. Both were great investors and their work was inspirational for millions of small pocket investors like me or you.

Below are five stock picks that met the criteria from the old investment gurus.

The 6 Best Dividend Paying Oil Stocks

If you're an income investor, you most likely will be looking for high-dividend stocks. Those high yields can be found within the energy sector, especially in the oil rector. Some Telecom, REITs and MLPs also pay good dividends.

Dividend investing also requires patience. And the reason for that is fairly simple: Most high-quality dividend payers are very stable and mature companies whose stocks are almost always trading at fair valuations with little-to-no prospect of becoming undervalued. In other words, these are generally boring stocks to own. 

When it comes to investing in dividend-paying oil stocks, here's what I'd be looking for:

- Acceptable Debt-To-Equity Ratios

- Strong Fundamentals

- High Dividends

- Low Payouts

- Cheap Valuation

- Competitive Advantage

Attached is a list of the best dividend paying oil stocks that might fulfill the most of the above mentioned criteria. Which do you like or do you know some oil stocks that might be better? Please let me know.

13 Stocks With Dividend Growth In The Past Week

13 companies raised their dividends during the recent week. Dividend is so important for investors who like to grow their investments.

Below is a full list of all stocks that have raised their dividend payments within the past week. Five of the firms have a current yield of more than 3 percent.

Kroger, DTE Energy, Matson, Disney and Worthington Industries were the biggest stocks, all with a market capitalization above the one billion Mark.

Disney is for me the most impressive stocks. It has grown more to a merchandise company and licensing business than to an entertainment company, which is in general good.

I've missed the chance to buy the stock. I still believe that the current prices are too high but they truly reflect the strong growth which did not disappoint. Maybe I get some shares within the next market correction.
