Some Wall Streeters are quaking in their boots at the thought of an end to virtually free money. I say, “Let’s hear it, Janet.” If it turns out the economy can’t stand even a quarter-point (or eighth-point) increase in lending rates, the Fed can always backtrack. More likely, this baby step toward normalcy won’t hurt business activity to any appreciable extent.
Nor will it stop the stock market’s progress for long. Already, various technical gauges (stochastics, upside/downside volume, put/call ratios, etc.) are hinting that a short-term bottom is near. If investors decide that the Fed really isn’t such a big threat (for now, anyway), another “surprise” rally could explode out of the gates within the next few days, lifting the Dow and S&P 500 to fresh all-time highs by late March or early April. Still, enough stocks with nice dividends are in within the buy range for us to join the fun. General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), which yields 3.65%, and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), which yields 3.15%, are still strong dividend stocks to buy. I’ll also put in a plug for Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG).
