As the U.S. economy continues to strengthen, and continue job creation for nearly 80 consecutive months, the global economy is starting to perk up as well. As people continue to clamor for income, increased scrutiny has been placed upon dividend paying stocks. It's up to investors to find good, quality companies that can continue to increase their payouts, while not having to worry about being over levered.
As investors continue to seek out value in light of the recent rise in asset prices around the world, companies that have strong fundamentals are poised to thrive more than their peers, including global blue-chips like Siemens (SIEGY) and Toyota (TM). We really like Nestle (NSRGY) -- they're a good global food company and we think they can reach $80 a share over the next year or 18 months, no matter what the economy is doing. Other companies, like Kimberly-Clark Mexico (KCDMY) and French supermarket Carrefour (akin to Wal-Mart (WMT) and Costco (COST) in the U.S.) are also poised to do well, as the standard of living improves and economies become more stable.

I like NSRGY but wish they'd pay more than once a year. One of my top foreign dividend stocks has been IR and ALLE spin off. Thanks for sharing.
