Timely Ten: Best blue chip dividend buys


Bookmark and Share
by Kelley Wright, editor IQ Trends

Kelley WrightOur primary purpose is to assist investors in growing their capital and income base from which to derive cash for their current and future needs.

To that end we believe that high-quality stocks purchased at historically low-price-to-high-yield offers the best potential for downside protection and upside appreciation.

Our current Timely Ten list is our reasoned expectation based on our methodology and experience for what we believe will perform best over the next five years.

Do we believe that all 10 will go up simultaneously or immediately? Of course not.

Our four-plus decades of research and experience, however, leads us to believe that these stocks, purchased at historically ndervalued levels, are well positioned for both growth of capital and income.
