I love it when stocks have reached a critical mass
to finance future growth with own economics of scale. Being big is also a great
competitive advantage which is hard to copy when the industry is still consolidated.
Large caps with a lower volatility than the market
(beta below one) are available for investors. 28 in total have such a wonderful
ratio of which 12 are recommended to buy. Linked are the 20 top yielding stocks.
