Most of them offer a great opportunity but they still
have a risk.
I personally look for stocks with a 10+ billion market
cap as well as a P/E ratio of less than 20 combined with a 5+ percent mid-term
earnings growth.
Below are eight stocks with solid fundamentals and a
good long-term dividend growth history that could be helpful for your own asset
allocation. My favorite industries are telecoms and insurer.
