14 Low Priced Dividend Champions

Dividend Champions with low price to earnings ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". It’s important to have a clear picture of all your price ratios from your stock holdings. If you see that there is one company too high valuated compared to the growth perspective, you should consider to reduce the position.

The same on the long side: If you purchase a stock, you should only buy at reasonable prices. I know, everybody tells you this and sometimes P/E’s of 25 or 30 are still reasonable. It’s a question of believe and trust.

Today, I like to show you all Dividend Champions with a current P/E ratio of less than 15. Only 14 companies (around 14 percent of all champions) are so low valuated. Most of them have a good mid-term growth perspective.

Seven of the results have a current buy or better rating.

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.
