Best Dividend Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Having said that, here are three stocks in my portfolio that I couldn’t see myself selling anytime soon.

Top 10 Dividend Stocks To Own Right Now

The February stock market rout created a tremendous opportunity for long-term investors. Everyone is asking which stocks make sense for the rest of 2018 and beyond. The following five stocks are my favorite large-cap names for a buy-and-hold portfolio.

1. United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS)
Shares of this package delivery service have plunged around 30% from their January 2018 highs. The February market plunge resulted in a steep gap, exasperating an already dire situation.

Currently, shares are building a base in the $105.00 zone, setting up an ideal technical buy opportunity. Let’s take a closer look.

Fundamentals supporting the bullish call include the dividend increase of 10% in February. The company has increased dividends every year since 1969, and they have quadrupled since 1999. UPS boasts a healthy cash flow to support the ever-growing payout to investors.

CEO David Abney stated, “Dividends remain a high priority at UPS. Our strong cash flow from operations has enabled us to pay a stable or growing dividend for nearly 50 years.”

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.
