Portfolio Overview
Austin Smith of the
Motley Fool suggests three bargain companies that also have strong
dividends. In this environment, this is an appealing combination.
We have already mentioned that high yields may mask underlying problems
so it's important to ensure that the companies are fundamentally strong.
Austin's three picks are:
- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). The health-care giant yields an impressive 3.7%, well above the
market average of 2%
- Intel's (Nasdaq: INTC) is the world's largest semiconductor company, it has the money -- $15 billion in cash and short-term investments
- Philip Morris (NYSE: PM) has yields a solid 4.2% and has the ingredients of a long-term winner if you can overlook their product
This is not a balanced portfolio with only three choices but we will compare this with our ETF benchmark of a balanced portfolio of Dividend producing ETFs and see what conclusions we can draw.
