Happy New Year! It was a fantastic year 2014 and I hope you've also generated a good performance.
I hope that this year can also produce a solid for my portfolio depite the fact that many analysts are scared about the current market valuation.
I think that we must own stocks but we need to keep a larger amount of cash in order to be prepared for a potential market correction. If dividend yields go up, it's good for us because we can earn more money by holding stocks and receiving dividends, all with a smaller amount of money.
One of my most important lessons on the stock market was - how do I become more diversified and secure?

What to do with price fluctuations?
One of my most important lessons on the stock market was - how do I become more diversified and secure?
The answer was
very simple: Don't put all your money into one basket; don't put all your money
into one asset. Keep diversified over industries, sectors and try to look for
higher capitalized stocks who are acting within several countries.
Those are one of
my keystones when I talk about investment security. For sure, it's no guarantee
to avoid losses but I can sleep much better and can take a bigger part of the
capital market.
Today I like to
show you some new stocks with focus on security. These are my main criteria:
- Dividend yields over 2%
- Beta below 0.5
- Dividend Payout
Ratios under 60%
- Market Caps are over $10 billion
