When it comes to dividend stocks, most “conservative” investors go for blue chip stocks paying under 4% or so. I think this is a terrible idea in general, because most dividend blue chip stocks are, at this point, wildly overvalued. You risk big declines against which a measly 4% yield will give you little comfort. There are plenty of great dividend stocks out there that pay more than a 6% dividend yield, are far less likely to experience a major decline and have much greater capital appreciation potential.
Ashford Hospitality Trust (AHT) is one of these dividend stocks. Despite the fact that it outperforms its peers on virtually every metric, has more seasoned management than most hotel REITs and has executed brilliantly in both boom times and during the financial crisis, the market does not get Ashford. R.R. Donnelley & Sons (RRD) has proven remarkably nimble and resilient in the age of digital. When it comes to global telecom, there are few better names than Telefonica SA (TEF).
