Even After A 20% Sell-Off, This Dividend Aristocrat Is Still Too Expensive
The industrial sector has broken down recently. I’m always happy to place a contrarian bet on high quality names when the market’s sentiment has shifted against them. However, it’s important that investors pay attention to the fundamentals when looking at beaten down names, and not just share price movements. Many names are down significantly from their 52-week highs, yet that doesn’t exactly mean that they’re cheap. Illinois Tool Works (ITW) is an example of this: these shares have fallen nearly 20% from its highs, yet the stock still trades above its historical average and well above levels that I would deem attractive from a fundamental perspective. ITW is without a doubt, a very high quality company, and it’s big decline placed it on my watch list,... more

GameStop: Buy This Dividend Stock Yielding 11.16%
GameStop's (GME) stock has been in a constant free-fall for the last couple of years. The latest bad news hit earlier this month when GameStop's CEO announced his departure. The gaming market is changing, and there are certainly headwinds ahead, but I see the current stock price as a bargain for the following reasons:
GameStop's performance over the last couple of years isn't nearly as bad as the collapsing stock price would indicate. If anything, there are some positives like consistent free cash flow and improving margins. GameStop has a clean balance sheet, which includes a positive net cash position. The dividend currently yields 11.16% and is supported by free cash flow. The stock is attractively valued based on multiple valuation models. GameStop Financial... more

Leggett & Platt Dividend Stock Analysis
In my quest to find new dividend growth stocks to add to my dividend growth stock portfolio, I wanted to perform a detailed stock analysis over a Dividend Aristocrat that I currently do not own.

CEF BGH: High Yield Short Duration
Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund (BGH), formerly known as Babson Capital Global Short Duration High Yield fund before it changed its name on September 12, 2016. The name change was intended to clarify the trust's relationship to Babson Capital Management LLC, the investment advisor, which concurrently changed its name to Barings LLC. At that time, the management announced all other aspects would remain unchanged. The fund has an inception date of 10/25/2012.
This CEF was brought to my attention from my previous article on AWF, "CEF AWF: High Yield Undervalued" and it definitely peaked my interest and I felt compelled to dig deeper into the fund.
BGH's investment objective seeks to generate as high a level of current income as they determine is... more

Asset Alternatives For Dividend Investors

For many dividend investors, 2018 has turned out to be a tumultuous year. Some of the market's most cherished stocks have seen extended declines - and investors are being faced with tough decisions about how to approach their investment strategies. This means that some long-standing rules might need to be revised in order to remain competitive in increasingly volatile markets. The underlying interest rate environment is another factor that poses challenges for dividend investors, and we believe that this is a scenario that requires increased exposure to the safe-haven SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSEARCA: GLD). We are long GLD and believe that dips in the ETF should be viewed as new buying opportunities while the current market environment maintains key characteristics... more
