It takes a proven
business model to provide that kind of stability, especially considering the
financial storm that essentially every company went through in the financial
crisis of 2008.
When you can find
one of these gems trading at a discount, it can be a good idea to tuck a few
shares away in your portfolio.
But please do not
focus on these stocks alone. You need a strong buy or trading criteria in order
to create a sustainable long-term return.
My view on valuation
is always good but you need your own view on cheap stocks. Today I like to
share those stocks from the Dividend Aristocrats Index with the cheapest valuation
