I
think many investors are scared to death of the securities markets thus far in
2013 because of all the Chicken Little warnings voiced by the marketing people
who represent certain investment newsletters or blogs. After all, it’s true
that doom and gloom do outsell Sweetness and Light.
I do
recognize the possibility that current blather is correct from time to time,
and I don’t know the future either, so I’ve searched for a benign way to hedge
a positive outlook for securities when the chatter is scary.
When
searching for stocks worthy of deeper study, I first look to Value Line’s
reasonably consistent gainers across the last 10 calendar years and focus on those
up double digits both for average gains in the 10 years and also in terrible 2008. Examples in
alphabetical order:
AZO,
BCPC, EXPO, FFIN, NTES, PG, SCL, SQM, WAB.
Also,
I look to Seeking Alpha’s Top 20
Dividend Growth Stocks for 2013. Examples (same way): ADP, INTC, LMT, RTN, WAG,
WM.
Thirdly,
I look to Seeking Alpha’s favored
ETFs (same way): DIA, EPS, IPS, PRF, RWL, SDY, SSO, XLP.
For
detailed analysis of worthy stocks and funds, I look to VectorVest.com,
Nasdaq.com, and other of the excellent analytical resources I’ve mentioned in
my blog posts. By now, perhaps you’ve found favorites of your own.
