It’s one thing to have scary up-and-down markets, but it’s quite another when there are very few alternatives. Income investors, and most investors in general, can’t “go to cash” as so many cavalier financial talking heads often suggest. Commissions are prohibitive, and the yields on cash-type investments like certificates of deposit (CDs) are abysmal. The good news is there actually are a few safe places investors can head to now for safety and income.
We screened the Merrill Lynch research data base for telecommunication, utilities and consumer staples/discretionary stocks that pay solid dividends and are safe places to put money for the time being. We found four rated Buy that makes good sense for nervous investors now. Entergy Corp. (NYSE: ETR), McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD), Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ).
