Hot Dividend Stocks To Buy Right Now


With the resurgence in energy prices, the best proxy for the group — Energy Select Sector SPDR (ETF) (NYSEARCA:XLE) — has been on the move. While the ascent kicked off in August, it took Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI) until mid-November to catch on. After bottoming out near $17, KMI stock is now a hair under $20.

After an almost-13% rally and with earnings on tap, what do we think of Kinder Morgan stock?

KMI is not the company it used to be. Now boasting a dividend yield of just 2.58%, it’s far below what long-time investors had once known. With the industry’s changes and company-specific events, though, management had little choice about slashing its payout.

It certainly didn’t make our list of top dividend stocks to buy.

Now, the worst seems to be over and the KMI stock price rally is proof. Still, I don’t want to buy right here.


Why? I’d much rather wait to hear what the company says about its most recent quarter. After a series of tough earnings and revenue misses in 2016, last year was better. I suspect Kinder’s fiscal fourth quarter was good, but I still want to hear what management expects for 2018 before dipping my toes in the water.

  • [By Darren Williams] Although the entire cannabis space has quietly taken a hit of their own medicine in recent weeks and gone to sleep, don’t think for one second the entire space isn’t going to light up again soon. That’s just what they do, right? However, knowing who the pretenders are and knowing who the contenders are is really the challenge when it’s comes right down to it.
    First, anyone who claims to be a grower or a seller of cannabis can’t for one second ever make it as a public company right now, or can even legally consider being a public company for that matter, so you can scratch any of those right off your list. At least here in the U.S. anyway, because Canada is already well ahead of the curve having legalized it for medicinal purposes already.
    More importantly, full legalization of marijuana in Canada appears to be on track for July 2018, which will make Canada just the second nation in the world after Uruguay to completely legalize the cultivation, sale and possession of the drug for medical and recreational purposes.
    Regardless, the best time to buy any stocks in a hot growth sector is when either everyone has forgotten about them, or when the overall market landscape has turned bearish, which has yet to happen. However, the former seems to be the case for the cannabis space, despite some very favorable state legislation last Fall.
    For now, as long as you have a license issued by Health Canada, you’re good to go, so there are some stocks trading in Canada already who are well on their way to making some green for investors. Canopy Growth Corporation (TSE: WEED), formerly Tweed Marijuana Inc., is a medical marijuana company based in Smiths Falls, Ontario. Aurora Cannabis Inc. (CVE: ACB), which is engaged in the production and sale of medical cannabis. There’s also Aphria Pharmaceutical Company (TSE: APH), which also is engaged in producing and selling medical marijuana through retail sales and wholesale channels.
    There are many more, but those are just a

    “For many other stocks, such as gaming (EA, TTWO) and IT services ( (PAYX) , (GPN) ), regulatory risks for Facebook may not necessarily pose a risk to their core business models,” writes Goldman Sachs strategist David Kostin. “We expect correlations for these stocks would likely revert to historical averages and present potential buying opportunities given their underperformance since March.”
