You may have expected to see a list of good stocks to buy written out here with exact entry and exit points along with an expert opinion on why you should buy it. Not here. I, as well as many other traders and investors have found that research, research and more research is the best way to find good stocks to buy. When I first started in the stock market I watched the popular television shows that told me all the good stocks to buy.

You can search the internet for the phrase “good stocks to buy” and you will get thousands of results. Who is right? If it was as easy as searching and clicking to find out from a single source then we would all be rich! There are some basic thoughts that apply to most all forms of profitable stock buying. One of the main ideas When it comes to asking what are some really good stocks to buy is to buy stocks in well established companies that pay a good dividend, and that at the time seem to be trading at a price below what they truly should be valued at. Some people call this “value investing”. There are roughly 3000 dividend paying stocks in the stock market, so that gives you a large base from where you can begin to drill down and look to find those that are from the well established, yet undervalued companies.

What most people think about when they hear the term high yield investments is a low-rated bond, known to most as a junk bond. Junk bonds are from companies that have to pay higher when they borrow money. Just like the average consumer that has financial troubles and pays a higher rate on a credit card, the same is true for companies with a bad credit report. When they issue a bond, the company is really applying for a loan with anyone that wants to purchase their bonds. The people that purchase low-rated, high yield bonds are risking their money in the hope of a better return. If the company is in dire financial straights, no matter how high the interest rate, the bonds simply won’t sell well.

The junk bond market can be quite lucrative if you’re educated in the ways of bonds. For instance, most people simply see bonds as a means of making interest. Stock market investors, in particular, find bonds quite boring especially if they love the thrill of the market fluctuations. These investors simply don’t know much about bonds, in particular, junk bonds. Many online investing sites often neglect information on bonds and focus strictly on equity products.

Mutual funds can be a great investment option for those who do not want to research the stock market on an individual company basis. Mutual funds bundle together a bunch of stocks, so that your risk is minimized. You should also understand that by doing so, your profits are usually limited as well, since you do not make as much as the best performing stocks but only the average of a group of stocks.

Mutual funds work best when you want to diversify and thus minimize your risk in the stock market. They are thus good for long term investments. They work well in the short term too, but not too short term (like day trading) because of the commissions involved.

When investing in the stock market, there are a number of different strategies that are possible to try and make the most money. Many people try and predict the future, buying companies that are selling for low costs and hoping they rise to greater values. However, I recommend looking for companies with steady earnings per share and strong dividends as a means of investment.

My reasoning for investing in companies with high dividends is that these stocks are stable. They might not experience the same high level of capital gains that you could get by picking the next big thing, but they offer a steady return on investment as the company pays you a regular 4% on the share’s value. What’s more, they may also show some growth in stock price, giving you a double gain of dividend payouts and capital gains.

When getting a dividend, it’s great to reinvest it in the company, thereby increasing your dividend holdings in the company even further. Through this, you will find yourself holding more shares of the company’s stock and thus, receiving more dividends. Because of this, dividend stocks can act as a circular growth of profit. Buying dividend paying stocks gets you more dividends which gets you buying more dividend paying stock and so on. Continue reading ‘Why High Dividend Stocks Are Great’ »
