In recent months I have talked a lot about dividend-paying stocks not to buy. I have been working in and around the markets for almost three decades now, and the worst mistakes I have seen have been as a result of the search for yield. Today, the search for yield is harder that it has ever been, and the low-rate backdrop causes many inexperienced investors to enter the equity markets to find badly needed income. At the same time, many dividend stocks are far too richly valued given their prospects and condition.
Seven years into a bull market, it is time to be very cautious and selective when putting money to work in dividend paying stocks. I want to limit my purchases to those in solid financial condition that are available at low valuations to provide portfolio income. Dividend Stocks to Bet On: BG Staffing Inc (BGSF), New Media Investment Group Inc (NEWM) and A.H. Belo Corporation (AHC).
