18 Cool Dividend Growth Large Caps For A Hot Market

What stocks can we buy when the market hits new highs on a regular basis?

I'm really scared about the ease to trade stocks at such high levels. Markets are valuated far above 20 P/E multiples and the Dollar becomes more and more attractive for foreign investors.

When I look into my dividend stock database, I also see skyrocket price ratios. For sure there are some pretty good stocks in my sheets with deep values but normal investors don't should expect such a big growth for the near future that can justify this valuation.

Today I like to give you some ideas about good growing stocks with a solid dividend growth history and a low debt figure as well.

These are my criteria:

- Large Capitalization (+ 10 Billion USD)

- Expected EPS Growth over 10%

- P/E below 20

- Debt-To-Equity under 0.5

- Consecutive Dividend Payments over 10 years

18 stocks fulfilled my criteria. Not much but some ideas. Would I buy them? I'm not sure. I think that more and more volatility is coming into the market and this could also mean that it is possible to buy them in the near future at a cheaper price.

12 Of The Safest Dividend Aristocrats

Happy New Year! It was a fantastic year 2014 and I hope you've also generated a good performance.

I hope that this year can also produce a solid for my portfolio depite the fact that many analysts are scared about the current market valuation.

I think that we must own stocks but we need to keep a larger amount of cash in order to be prepared for a potential market correction. If dividend yields go up, it's good for us because we can earn more money by holding stocks and receiving dividends, all with a smaller amount of money.

What to do with price fluctuations?

One of my most important lessons on the stock market was - how do I become more diversified and secure?

The answer was very simple: Don't put all your money into one basket; don't put all your money into one asset. Keep diversified over industries, sectors and try to look for higher capitalized stocks who are acting within several countries.

Those are one of my keystones when I talk about investment security. For sure, it's no guarantee to avoid losses but I can sleep much better and can take a bigger part of the capital market.

Today I like to show you some new stocks with focus on security. These are my main criteria:

- Dividend yields over 2%

- Beta below 0.5

- Dividend Payout Ratios under 60%

- Market Caps are over $10 billion

My screen produced a few interesting results of which three have a very long history with their dividends, going back more than 40 years (close to Dividend Kings). I like to highlight some oft them now.
