Right now the following dividend stocks I'm looking to buy:
- Apple
- Boeing (when it dips more)
- Verizon
- Wells Fargo
- Broadcom
Verizon seems like the best buy for my portfolio at the moment and I like the price point.
Apple and Broadcom and heck even Verizon are all pretty expensive right now. Wells Fargo is kinda mid-52 week range and the share price is low.
Boeing is ok. A 2 percent starting yield isn't really impressive unless you're looking for growth. Thing is Boeing has been pretty resistant to falling below $365. I don't think you'll do better than that unless catastrophic news comes out about the company.
Apple's dividend isn't even worth bothering with if you're looking to invest specifically for dividends cause it's 1.50%. McDonalds is 2.44% and cost almost $10 a share less than Apple right now. It too is expensive though pushing 52 week highs.
Basically if you're looking to start investing right now you aren't gonna get good capital appreciation. Stocks in general are pretty expensive with many pushing 52 week highs. Unless the markets continue to climb like crazy you're gonna be stuck with minimal gains on investments.
