Top 100 Guru Buy List | Most Bought Stocks By Popular Investors

100 most bought stocks by investment gurus originally published on Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Dividend counts also for professional investment gurus. Those are asset or fund managers with big amounts of cash under management and a well known profile within the financial community. They all have one thing in common: The average return beats the market and if they invest, the market follows.

Today I make like every month a screen of the biggest stock buys from 49 super investors over the recent six months and ranked them in my 100 best guru buy list. They all combined bought 517 stocks within the recent half year.

The number one stock above all guru buys was Microsoft. The company is followed by the internet search provider Google who was bought by 11 investment gurus. Microsoft had 15 big investors on their side. Financial and technology stocks are still very popular.

74 stocks from the list pay dividends compared to 69 last month. It’s a shift to dividend stocks. Are they look more stability and cash compensation? 65 have a buy or better recommendation.

What Is The Right Dividend Yield For Southern Copper (SCCO)?


One of my readers asked me a good question about my latest screens. Here is what he wrote:

“I am new at this and trying to learn. Your site is very helpful. From your post:

I do not understand the reported yield for Southern Copper. Most all sites I see report dividend 2.42%.

Thanks“

That's an error in my screening database. Sometimes it needs time to update the yield lists with current dividend payments. If a company pays a much lower dividend in the future or they paid special dividends, the yield explodes but on the new basis its a normal value. Here is the dividend history of SCCO: Long-Term Dividend History of SCCO. I think the $2.75 extraordinary payment causes the error.

SCCO has a yield of 2.42% based on a $0.8 annual dividend.

20 Cheapest Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Wow, the stock market rises from month to month. The negative thing is that stock prices rise faster than the earnings and stocks getting therefore more expensive. This is a development which is still healthy because of the low yielding bond market. But it’s not sustainable if the interest rates rise. Everybody can imagine what happens if the Fed hikes its rates.

So, my major screening focus goes to cheap stocks, stocks with a low price to earnings ratio. Below is a list of the 20 cheapest healthcare dividend stocks with a forward P/E of less than 15. Health care plans companies are currently the cheapest choice in the list. Two High-Yields are part of the results and fifteen companies are recommended to buy.
