I like to
see that my personal income from dividends is rising but only healthy growing
stocks can give me such an opportunity.
I'm looking
each day for good bargains on the stock market but only a few companies
can give me a huge possibility to double dividends over a few years.
Debt and
growth are two very important factors when you look at rising dividends. But
those two figures are no warranty for good returns. I'm talking about high
valuations. If you buy at high prices or big P/E ratios, you will definitely
loose money despite your growing dividend income.
Below are
six stocks with low debt ratios and solid earnings growth predictions. Most of
them have a P/E between 15 and 20. Not too expensive but when money is flooding
out of the market, those valuations can shrink to 10 to 15. The good thing is
that you can easily buy shares at 50 percent higher yields.
