10 Undervalued Dividend Stocks With A High Degree Of Safeness

Defensive Investors are defined as investors who are not able or willing to do substantial research into individual investments, and therefore need to select only the companies that present the least amount of risk.

Enterprising Investors, on the other hand, are able to do substantial research and can select companies that present a moderate (though still low) amount of risk. Each company suitable for the Defensive Investor is also suitable for Enterprising Investors.


If you are a defensive investor, you should look at the following selection of stocks. I've selected the highest dividend yields among the undervalued companies for defensive dividend stock investors. 


Yield was not a high-rated criterion. More important were a strong financial position and potential of growth in general. 


Here are the 10 results...
