The Latest Big Dividend Stock Buys From James Barrow

James Barrow’s latest dividend stock buys and his portfolio originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 

James Barrow is a relatively unknown fund managers but he has big influence on Wall-Street. His assets under management exceeded the 55 billion mark in his investment firm Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss. This money was spread on 159 stocks of which 7 were completely new. James follows a value-oriented investment strategy.

James is a real dividend large cap lover. Nearly all of his latest 20 big stock acquisitions pay dividends. In addition, James is a much diversified guy. None of his stakes is extremely overweighed. The biggest position is the tobacco company Philip Morris and has a portfolio share of 3.5 percent while the 10th biggest stock holding weights only at 1.8 percent.

Compared to other fund managers, his performance is also weak in the short term. Over the past three years, the excess return was only 3.3 percent in total. His five-year advance is a bit better with 14 percent excess gain but over 10 years, his performance is 27.8 percent weaker than the S&P 500. Over a very long period of 15 years, he beat the market by 49.4 percent excess gain.

Half-Time Report: The Best Healthcare Dividend Stocks And Which Of Them Are The Cheapest

Healthcare dividend stocks with the highest year-to-date performance originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We’ve completed the month June and it’s time to report which stocks have risen most within the first six months of the year. It’s ever good to see which stocks are hot in the market and which of them are still cheap valuated.

That’s the main reason why I like to produce an article serial with performance figures of the best performing stocks from several sectors of the financial market.

Today I like to screen the healthcare sector by dividend stocks with the highest stock performance since the beginning of the year.

The 20 most successful companies have realized a performance between 22.01 percent and 73.98 percent. The average capital gain was 36.24 percent. Despite the strong stock price hike, seventeen of them still have a buy or better rating.
