This is thrilling, if only for investors - horrible for the population.
It is made more intense by the upcoming US election as well as the seeming impossibility of a new stimulus plan before the election.
These are 10 of the dividend-paying companies I'm looking to buy if the dip continues.
When the market turns negative, it's time to loosen the purse strings. While I invest continuously, I've held back somewhat over the past 2 weeks and somewhat built my cash position. In a way, I'm very wary of investing this close to the election, seeing that any outcome may be a negative catalyst for some stocks. At the same time, it's important not to stare yourself blind at one particular event but to instead focus on the relative valuation of the companies you may invest in.
So, with that in mind, I think it's time to prepare for the very real possibility that we may be looking at a deeper dip, which would turn currently appealing valuations into downright must-buy valuations.
This quick-pick list is based on choosing the companies I see as having the "best" value. It contains companies across most sectors, and each quick presentation is followed by a forecast in terms of how much return you can realistically, or conservatively, expect from the company on a short and long-term basis.
