17 High Momentum Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with highest beta ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I am a conservative investor and try to minimize my risk.

This strategy is necessary if you have a larger amount of money to take care of or you begin to cry when you lose 10 percent on your book value. The second disadvantage is that you lose performance in a strong up moving market. 

Since 2009, there were nearly no bigger corrections at the market but with low beta and safe haven stocks, your performance would be only half of the return from the markets. What you need to get a push for your portfolio is a high beta stock. I don’t recommend buying them because it’s a definitely riskier strategy and nobody knows when the market turns into a bearish mood.

However, let’s take a look at the high fly momentum stocks from the healthcare sector. Those are stocks with the highest beta ratio from the sector. They have a beta between 1 and 2. With focus on the dividend paying stocks, only 17 stocks from the healthcare sector pay a dividend and being correlated with the market by a factor of up to 2.

One High-Yield is below the results and 16 have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

13 Highly Shorted Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with the highest float short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Selling a stock short is a popular method by investors to make a capital gain in a falling market. If investors believe that the stock price should fall, they borrow shares of the company and sell them on the market in order to hope that the stock price falls much more and that he can buy back the borrowed shares for a cheaper price.

Activists often sell stocks short. They try to scary other investors. Today I like to show you which of the healthcare stocks have the highest float short ratio. The ratio shows you how many shares have been sold short. It’s ever interesting to see which companies have some problems and investors like to speculate on a falling stock price. The higher the ratio is, the bigger the problems of the company.

These are my criteria:

- Positive Dividend Yield

- Healthcare Sector Relationship

- Float Short Ratio over 5 percent

Thirteen healthcare dividend stocks have fulfilled these criteria. Eight of them have a current buy or better rating.
