17 Cheap Large Cap Dividend Contenders Close To New 52-Week Highs

Cheaply valuated dividend growth stocks close to new 52-Week-Highs originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I published recently a small article about Large Cap stocks close to new one-year highs with a single P/E.
