Hot Dividend Stocks To Buy Right Now

tags:PPL,GD,LFUS,PAYX,TLK, Yield, yield, yield . . . investors love it. Gurus and professors hate it (focus on total return they say). Having gotten out of grad school nearly 40 years ago, I’ve long felt free to ignore what gurus and professors think and obsess instead on real people who invest real money who want and need real income. That’s why equity income is such an important part of my strategic arsenal. That, and the fact that the fixed income bull market is over.

Hot Dividend Stocks To Buy Right Now: S&P GSCI(GD)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By ]

    Cramer and Moreno also looked at General Dynamics (GD) which peaked in early March, before starting a downtrend until Tuesday. Last week, General Dynamics fell to the lower end of its channel, but then it bounced right to the high end, and Wednesday it firmly broke out above the high end of this channel. The stochastic oscillator, which is a powerful momentum indicator is making a bullish crossover, and based on today's move, Moreno thinks General Dynamics can return to its old highs at $230.

    Only 10% of the companies on the list had female CEOs at the helm, four of which -- Hewlett Packard (HP) , Lockheed Martin (LMT) , General Motors (GM) , and General Dynamics (GD) -- grew significant revenue in five years or less.

    Shipbuilding and services specialist�Huntington Ingalls (NYSE:HII) was spun off from Northup Grumman in early 2011. General Dynamics (NYSE:GD) is roughly six times larger and offers a far more diversified list of products and services that includes submarines, aircraft, and armored vehicles, among other things. Both, however, provide key products and services to the U.S. military. That's normally a fairly consistent business driven by large and often very long contracts. With a supportive administration in the White House, it would seem like now is a good time to take a look at this pair of stocks. But which of these two military-industrial companies is a better buy? Using a Benjamin Graham�lens, the answer may not be what you want to hear.
