34 Stocks Increased Dividends Recently | 10 High-Yields

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. For all dividend seekers out there: I am publishing each week a list of stocks and funds that have raised their dividend payments within the recent week.

Dividend growth is a very important item when you are active in the field of dividend investing. Growth creates wealth and nothing else. All you need is time and patience.

This week, 34 stocks increased their dividend payments of which 10 are High-Yields and 19 are currently recommended to buy. The average dividend growth amounts to 25.29 percent.

Popular stocks from the list are the railroad company CSX or the pipeline operator Kinder Morgan. A stock that I personally love is the Dividend King Procter & Gamble who hiked its dividends by 7 percent. The results are very mixed but oil and gas pipeline companies still dominating the screen.

17 Safest Stocks From The Financial Sector

Financial stocks with low beta ratios and high market capitalization originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The financial sector is still under fire. Low interest rates and higher risks within the bond buying industry make it hard to earn money on investments. As a result, thousands of people lose their job and the sector is shrinking. Bank of America cut its workforce by over 30,000 people and their competitors follow.

Not everything is bad within the financial sector. If you have followed my screens over the past months, you could find there more and more good looking banks and asset managers as well as insurers.

Today I like to discover the best yielding dividend stocks from the financial sector with real safe heaven characteristics. My criteria are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Beta ratio below 1

The stock should have a lower volatility than the overall market. For sure, these are not the only trigger ratios to seek out the highest degree of stability for a stock. Especially in the financial sector are more risks than in other industries. Banks are still black boxes because you never know what kind of risk exposure they have in detail.

The screen produced 17 stocks of which two have a double-digit yield. Eight of them are currently recommended to buy.
