The bull market is more than four years old. I've stayed invested, but I've been nervous all the way. I bet a lot of investors feel equally unsettled. After all, stocks are much more expensive than they were a few years ago. What to do? The logical course is to buy the sturdiest stocks you can find. This article offers seven especially hardy companies — plus a low-cost fund that invests in all of them, as well as a bunch of others.
What makes these stocks compelling? All have strong competitive advantages over their rivals — and all pay dividends but not excessive dividends. Take your time accumulating the dividend growers, though, and look for good price points to buy: Occidental Petroleum (OXY), PepsiCo (PEP), PepsiCo (PEP), Roche Holding (RHHBY), Target (TGT) and ExxonMobil (XOM).
