Dividend investing
also requires patience. And the reason for that is fairly simple: Most
high-quality dividend payers are very stable and mature companies whose stocks
are almost always trading at fair valuations with little-to-no prospect of
becoming undervalued. In other words, these are generally boring stocks to
own.
When it comes to
investing in dividend-paying oil stocks, here's what I'd be looking for:
- Acceptable
Debt-To-Equity Ratios
- Strong
Fundamentals
- High Dividends
- Low Payouts
- Cheap Valuation
- Competitive
Advantage
Attached is a list
of the best dividend paying oil stocks that might fulfill the most of the above mentioned
criteria. Which do you like or do you know some oil stocks that might be
better? Please let me know.
