While
the markets hit new all time highs on a regular basis, each investor fears the
power of a strong market correction; me too!
I'm watching the markets and buy only stocks on a very
selective and very restrictive basis. I like to buy stock when everybody is
anxious.
Today I've compiled 15 Dividend Achievers, stocks with
more than 10 years of consecutive dividend growth, with attractive fundamentals
and solid growth forecasts.
I believe in return of high yielding and cheap stocks.
If the company grows earnings and sales and you pay a good price, you must get
a higher price for your investment one day.
Each of the 15 stocks has a market capitalization over
USD 2 billion and a low forward price-to-earnings ratio.
In addition, earnings are expected to grow at a
double-digit pace within the next five years and more equity is available than
debt.
These are my top results...
