While investing in
stocks with high dividends may be a good scheme to reinforce your loss-aversion
principle, playing the market to dodge volatility requires some extra cautious
steps. Beta measures the extent to which a fund’s return may be affected or how
much the price fluctuates owing to market conditions.
A high beta shows
normally how the performance of a single stock differs from the overall market.
The higher the ratio, the bigger the out- or underperformance develops.
It's great if you
like to be different, a star or a looser on the market.
Today I like to
show you those higher capitalized dividend stocks with beta ratios over 1.5 and
dividend yields over 5%. In order to keep the over levered stocks off the list,
I only observed stocks with a debt to equity ratio under 1.
