I personally
believe in dividends as a safe haven criteria because cash you have received in the past could
compensate a potential loss.
For sure, this is not a good return driver,
especially when we are talking about yields of 1-2 percent yearly, but each
penny sums to dollars if you compile enough of them.
Today I run my
daily screen about cheap dividend paying stocks with double-digit earnings growth
forecasts for the next five years.
In addition, the stocks have a very
comfortable debt situation, measured by a debt-to-equity ratio of less than
0.5.
