Foreword
Last month, I focused on a collection of broker-favored Fit Financial Service equities. This month, I chose to focus on Energy to see if that sector might also see a rebalance in favor of the buy-and-hold buyer like you and me.
The Ides of March dip pushed energy stock prices well below the point where annual dividend yield from $1K invested meets or exceeds single share prices. The top yield ten energy dogs this month all show annual yields in excess of 20%. Corporate directors will likely cut or curtail these dividends: CEQP; TRGP; DKL; HMLP; USAC; PBFX; NS; KRP; SRLP; GLP. The second tier ten with dividends of 11-19% may just reduce their payouts to shareholders.
Few of these companies have business models positioned to fulfill future consumer desires. Ten of 52 may be diverse enough to survive. The dogcatcher likes these ten: CEO; RDS-A; PSX; CNQ; XOM; TOT; SU; EC; VLO; CVX.
