DiviMO: Can defensive dividend stocks outperform the market?
First, please welcome DiviMO to the site. DiviMO’s portfolio on this site will consist of selected dividend yielding securities.
Sam Stovall is the chief investment strategist for Standard & Poor’s.
Stovall found that a stock portfolio that shifted to defensive sectors such as consumer staples / health care stocks from May through October had outperformed the S&P 500 Index by several percentage points a year over the past 15 years.
Defensive stocks are typically the best performers during the often-weak summer months. They outperformed the market 65% of the time during the past 20 years, with the best average advance of any group says a study released in 2010 by Sam Stovall, Standard & Poor’s.
DiviMO is going to have a number of selected dividend yielding securities and keep the portfolio to October. It will not only consist of consumer/health stocks however. The initial picks were entered today. The critieria for selection will be noted from time to time in DiviMO’s blogs. You can check on it from time to time to see it’s overall performance. In October, there might need to be some adjustments made to compensate for dividends which the pp game does not consider. This will be noted in a blog posting.
The most recent picks by «MightyMo» are:
A buy rating on KeyCorp (KEY)
a buy rating on Diamond Offshore (DO) and
a buy rating on Carnival Corp. (CCL).
