There's a new acronym gaining momentum in the investing world: FOBOR. Its stands for FOrced Buyers Of Risk. What it means essentially is that due to aggressive monetary policies by central banks, investors have basically been forced out of fixed income assets like bonds and into riskier assets like stocks.
FOBORs are reluctant stock investors, so most prefer the lowest beta, most stable dividend stocks out there since they are used to the safety of bonds. This move has driven stock prices in many "boring" stocks to record highs. While low beta dividend stocks are becoming harder to find at a reasonable price, there are still some pockets of value out there: Rogers Communications (RCI), Kohl's (KSS) and Chevron (CVX).
