We live in a span of a financial bubble and
financial services stocks, banks as well as insurer are the main provider for
the financial system. Not all of them benefited from the money easing by the
fed but in some cases you can see a definitely increase in the company’s balance
sheet. The risks rose and yields went down over the recent years. Today, we need
much more money to receive the same capital income as 10 years before.
I personally do not own banks or insurer. I
still have no opinion or idea about how they could reduce their risk exposure
in the financial market. They are real black boxes for me.
However, the 20 best performing financial dividend stocks with a market capitalization over USD 300 million gained 54.50
percent to 97.22 percent since the beginning of the year. Nine of the results
still have a buy or better recommendation.
