Healthcare dividend stocks with highest beta ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I am a conservative investor and try to minimize my risk.

This strategy is necessary if you have a larger amount of money to take care of or you begin to cry when you lose 10 percent on your book value. The second disadvantage is that you lose performance in a strong up moving market. 

Since 2009, there were nearly no bigger corrections at the market but with low beta and safe haven stocks, your performance would be only half of the return from the markets.

If you want to make money with dividend growth stocks, you need fast growth but it makes only sense to purchase them for an acceptable price. What return will you make when you pay a price that is 100 times of the expected earnings?

Today, I like to screen the investment category “Dividend Champions” by stocks with the highest rate of dividend growth over the recent 10 years. Linked is a full list of the top 20 champs with a double-digit dividend growth. Fourteen of the results have a current buy or better rating.
