Jeffery Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James, and Allan Nichols, equities strategist at Morningstar, shared their insights on dividend stocks.
Nichols says there generally is “more stability internationally” than in the U.S., especially in the big cap names.
Nichols recommends:
BP
BT Group
Royal Dutch Shell
France Telecom
Nichols commented that all the above-mentioned companies are mainly based in Europe, “but they have widespread assets throughout Europe, around emerging markets, and throughout the world.”
