Given that it’s summertime, many of us like to take a break from the everyday hustle… However, what if I told you that there are plenty of stocks out there that can offer the following?
– A reliable, stable income stream
– Act as a buffer, safeguarding portfolios from declines
– Long-term wealth accumulation
– Resilience during market uncertainty
– Even more wealth accumulation through reinvestment plans
– Can be bought and held with confidence by long-term income investors
Of course, it’s all about picking the right dividend stocks, and that’s what I strive to do. Earlier this week I wrote about three undervalued dividend payers with low beta scores. If you missed that list you can find it here. With many so many attractive options available, the task of whittling my choices down to just three stocks proved to be more of a challenge than I could bare. Therefore, here are three MORE undeniably low-priced stocks that can increase your returns while you relax this summer…
