Dividend Stocks With Momentum

What’s better than a stock with a strong dividend? If you’re a growth stock investor, the answer is a strong dividend stock whose price is rising. While Forbes has traditionally leaned toward the value-side of the investing strategy spectrum, there is ample evidence that using technicals and incorporating momentum into your portfolio picks can improve returns.

William O’Neil’s popular CAN SLIM approach that combines fundamentals and technicals can be a very profitable strategy. According to the American Association of Individual Investors, which runs screens mimicking various famous investing strategies, its O’Neil CAN SLIM screen has been a top performer over the last 5- and 10-year periods as of January 2012. Indeed its main CAN SLIM screen, which incorporates momentum by seeking out stocks with high relative strength index numbers selling near their 52-week highs, has an average annual return of 20% versus 1.5% for the S&P500 for the last 10 years.
