Wall Street doesn't like uncertainty, which is why it's a good time to own value stocks that pay solid dividends, says John Buckingham, manager of the Al Frank Dividend Value Fund(VALEX). The mutual fund, which garners three of five stars from Morningstar(MORN), has returned 23% over the past year, better than 57% of its peers in the large-cap value category. During the past five years, the fund has risen an average of 1.3% annually, better than half of its Morningstar rivals.
Buckingham: Given that we favor broad portfolio diversification with more than 90 stocks held in the Al Frank Dividend Value Fund, it is difficult to choose just one favorite as we like names like Cooper Tire & Rubber(CTB), Archer Daniels Midland(ADM), Waste Management(WM) and Abbott Labs(ABT). We also would highlight Intel(INTC) and Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold(FCX) as our top picks as each sports a generous yield while trading for very low multiples of earnings and offering solid long-term growth prospects.
