Contrarian Value Ideas

[gfp927z]

Derf, Yes, HSY definitely isn't the most exiting stock around. Other food and consumer related stocks have similar div yields, like PEP, KO, MCD, PG, MDLZ. But being down by 1/3, I figure HSY may out perform overall as it gradually recovers..

Speaking of dividends, I see Chevron is up to 4%. Not the steadiest chart. but it gives some exposure to the energy sector. And the large pharma stocks are paying nice dividends. For yield it's tough to compete with bonds, but looks like it's time to rotate more into the stock side. Falling % rates should help both stocks and bonds, so it could be a couple good years ahead for investors.

Plenty of landmines though - geopolitical / war, the US election, regional bank problems, the growing debt bomb, BRICS expansion, etc. Like the old saying goes -- 'a bull market climbs a wall of worry'.
