Today's post will provide us with the Dividend Achievers that are within 5% of their 1 year low. You'll notice that there are a lot of stocks which are in the banking sector. It is very important that you take care before buying the banking stocks. This sector is most vunerable to a decline if the mortgage industry continues to decline. This does not mean avoid banks, rather, consider carefully those that you choose to include in your portfolio.
- Brown and Brown (BRO)
- Brady Corp (BRC)
- Cincinnati Financial (CINF)
- Citizens Banking (CRBC)
- Cullen Frost Bankers (CFR)
- First Charter (FCTR)
- FirstMerit Corp (FMER)
- Fulton Financial (FULT)
- Progressive (PGR)
- Protective Life (PL)
- Sallie Mae (SLM)
Personally, my favorite sector to invest in is the insurance industry. I highly recommend considering Progressive Insurance (PGR) and Protective Life (PL). Consider that insurance, by law, is required in all 50 states and you've got the formula for a winning product. Insurance companies also have the distinction of being able to calculate the odds of an accident occurring (threat of paying a claim.) This accurately assess the costs associated with a particular claim. Furthermore, when a claim is actually filed, insurance companies typically don't pay out the full amount of the money requested. Enjoy.
