n the past 15 years we have witnessed the euphoric inflation and violent bursting of two asset bubbles in the U.S.: the new-economy tech stocks in 2000 and the structured financial instruments that fueled the U.S. housing boom in the late 2000s. The aftermath of these bubbles destroyed an enormous amount of wealth at the precise moment the baby boomer generation began to prepare for retirement.
Many of these investors have stampeded into lower-risk assets, including bonds and income-oriented equities. Now we are beginning to hear murmurs that these former safe havens are “crowded trades”: the new bubbles. In the case of dividend stocks, nothing could be further from the truth. A crowded trade is one with many investors, a small number of available shares and poor liquidity. Do global dividend stocks fit the bill? Without question there are more investors in dividend stocks today than there were a year ago. But according to TrimTabs, fixed-income funds are still where the money is flowing, not equities.
