5 Dividend Shares At All-Time Highs

Stocks at All-Time-Highs originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I always look at stocks at new 52-Week Highs or All-Time-Highs. Those are the most wanted assets on the market.

Companies with a rising stock price show good signs of a healthy business and prospect a rosy future but it’s also dangerous to buy them at high P/E levels.

Think about Tesla or Apple, both hit week for week new highs over a long time and made many investors of the early stage investing era very rich but with a forward P/E of 83.87, Tesla is not cheap. You run into risk when you buy the shares at this price. The possibility to see the price you have paid never again is high. Apple however is valuated with a forward P/E of 12.55 and has a proven business model with a strong brand. Apple has definitely a lower risk profile than Tesla.

20 Financials With The Highest YTD-Performance And Which Are The Cheapest Stocks

Financial dividend stocks with highest performance year-to-date originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to discover the financial sector by the best performing dividend stocks. Financial companies are in focus of main street investors.

Not all of them benefited from the money easing by the fed but in some cases you can see a definitely increase in the company’s balance sheet. The risks rose and yields went down over the recent years. Today, we need much more money to receive the same capital income as 10 years before.

I personally do not own banks or insurer. I still have no opinion or idea about how they could reduce their risk exposure in the financial market. They are real black boxes for me.

However, the 20 best performing financial dividend stocks with a market capitalization over USD 300 million gained 54.50 percent to 97.22 percent since the beginning of the year. Nine of the results still have a buy or better recommendation.
