Top Warren Buffett Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Leave a reply

Your approach to picking stocks is pretty simple if you’re in your 70s. There are three basic rules.

The first two rules are the same as Warren Buffett’s two rules of investing:

Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Don’t forget rule No. 1.

Investors in their 70s will probably want to add rule No. 3: Receive a dependable income from dividends.

Your best way to abide by all three of these rules is to find stocks with solid business models built for the long run that pay out steady dividends. Three stocks that I think meet those criteria are Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM), Welltower (NYSE:WELL), and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE). Here’s why you should consider buying these three stocks if you’re in your 70s.

1. Iron Mountain

Iron Mountain’s business model is as solid as its name. The company is by far the biggest provider of records and data storage in the world. If you threw a dart at a list of the 1,000 largest companies, there’s a really good chance you’ll land on one of Iron Mountain’s customers. Its customer base includes 95% of the Fortune 1000.

Top Warren Buffett Stocks To Invest In Right Now: CenturyLink, Inc.(CTL)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Jon C. Ogg]

    CenturyLink Inc. (NYSE: CTL) is a telecom stock that pays its investors more than just a high dividend yield to own the stock. It’s a crazy-high yield of over 14%. Telecom stocks that pay such yields are often shunned by analysts because the earnings and cash flows are hard to model, and it’s increasingly harder to know where the future earnings will come from to continually support those dividends.

The automotive industry looks more like the Wild Wild West than ever before. Automakers are developing ridesharing projects, Silicon Valley tech companies are developing driverless technology, and auto dealership groups are developing online selling platforms. Even Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAR) has to be commended for its forward-thinking strategy acquiring Zipcar and inking partnerships with the likes of Alphabet’s Waymo, its autonomous car development company. Avis’ recent move is a smart decision, but General Motors (NYSE:GM) might end up crashing the party.

Deal inked with Toyota

Avis recently announced a multi-year deal with Toyota (NYSE:TM) that will add 10,000 vehicles to Avis’ fleet of connected vehicles. The benefit for Avis is using Toyota’s vehicles to improve informatics, fleet management, and operational efficiency. In other words, as Avis transitions from its historical rental business to an information and fleet management as a service (FMaaS) business, more information from partners like Toyota’s proprietary Mobility Services Platform (MSPF) will be critical to figuring out how to develop a lucrative business model.

    On a more positive note, Flannery appears to be making ground on some key long-term objectives.

    Management feels “good” about the ability of the healthcare segment to outperform, according to Miller. Flannery claimed GE was in “active discussions” on some aviation platforms, current & lighting and distributed power, while an announcement on the divestment of transportation (rumored to be a target of Wabtec (NYSE:WAB)) is expected by the end of the second quarter. Structural cost reductions are now expected to be above the $2 billion target outlined on the investor day presentation in November 2017. Flannery outlined that he would lead the creation of a new operating system for GE based on “lean, six sigma ad agile” involving “continuous improvement and customer experience.”

    As a reminder, GE has promised $20 billion of asset sales, and the commentary on the earnings call was reassuring, particularly as the first deal (healthcare IT assets) was underwhelming.

    As part of its announcement on Tuesday, GE stated that its previous plan to divest about $20 billion of assets is “substantially complete.” Indeed, the company is set to receive $9.8 billion of cash proceeds over the next 12 months from four major asset sales, along with approximately $1.9 billion of Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (NYSE:WAB) stock. GE shareholders will receive an additional $7.6 billion of Wabtec stock as part of the sale of the company’s freight locomotive business. The GE Lighting division is the last major asset up for sale under this plan.

Top 10 Safest Stocks To Own Right Now

There’s no way around it: the S&P 500 now has a P/E ratio of more than 26 going into the first earnings season of 2017, and even the “safest” bets are starting to look scary.

Unless we see massive profit growth all around, there’s a real risk this bull market is going to stutter—or worse.

So where do you go for value? It’s getting harder than ever, but there is one corner of the market that got way ahead of the S&P 500 and has since taken a step back. I’m talking about real estate investment trusts (REITs).

And now, there are three REITs that combined provide over 9% in income with over 200% average dividend coverage. That means they could double their payouts and still generate enough cash to cover them.

Plus, these stocks are out of favor, making them relatively cheap compared to their peers and the overheated broader market.

Best Casino Stocks To Watch Right Now: Transcananda Pipelines Ltd.(TRP)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    TransCanada’s (NYSE:TRP) expansion efforts continued paying dividends during the first quarter as earnings and cash flow kept growing. As a result, the Canadian pipeline giant remains on track to achieve its dividend growth targets. CEO Russ Girling affirmed that view on the quarterly conference call, where he detailed the company’s progress on its strategic plan.

    Most investors have probably heard of energy giants Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS-A) (NYSE:RDS-B), Dominion Energy (NYSE:D), and TransCanada (NYSE:TRP). Fewer, however, are likely familiar with their publicly traded master limited partnerships (MLPs): Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX), Dominion Energy Midstream Partners (NYSE:DM), and TC Pipelines (NYSE:TCP). That might be a good thing, as the market has beaten up the latter trio this year, sending their valuations south.

    Priestley:Yeah,absolutely. The last company is also on this natural gas trend,it’s TransCanada (NYSE:TRP), ticker TRP. It’s aCanadian energy infrastructure company. They have assets in the U.S.,Canada, obviously, and Mexico. Theyoperate 40,000 miles of natural gas pipeline. Anotable project that they operate is the Keystone XL Pipeline and theKeystone Pipeline system. Italso has interests in 20 powergeneration facilities,mostly in Canada. And, they have significant scale as a midstream company. I kind of like these midstream players, because they’re really winners,so to speak, in a lot of respects. A lot of the contracts that they make with the oil refiners or the oilcompanies themselves are 15-20-year contracts.

    TransCanada (NYSE: TRP) and Transportadora de Gas del Sur (NYSE:TGS) are both oils/energy companies, but which is the better stock? We will contrast the two companies based on the strength of their dividends, analyst recommendations, institutional ownership, risk, profitability, earnings and valuation.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    TransCanada (NYSE:TRP) is a dividend lovers’ dream stock. The Canadian pipeline giant has increased its payout for 18 straight years, including 10.4% for 2018, and it now yields nearly 5%. There’s still plenty more growth coming down the pipeline given its forecast that the company can increase the payout at an 8% to 10% annual rate through at least 2021. That outlook is among the best in its peer group.
