Over the past months, I've
published a lot of long-term orientated stock ideas on my blog. The aim was to
get new and fresh ideas for our asset allocation and I generated tons of great articles
but most of them have a clear focus on dividend growth.
This weekend, I've
also looked at my dividend growth stock database but I still notice that yields
are low and price ratios are very ambitious.
I decided to start
a new screen which is not based on dividend growth but count in safe heaven
criteria like the beta ratio and high market valuations.
I've attached 6
big names below with some great charts about the long-term yield, dividend and
price developments.
