Services Dividend Stocks With Safe-Haven Characteristics

Today continue with my monthly session of the safest dividend stocks, this time analyzing the services sector. It’s a big source to find stocks because there are 870 companies listed. I love it when stocks have reached a critical mass to finance future growth with economics of scale. Being big is also a great competitive advantage which is hard to copy when the industry is still consolidated.

Large caps with a lower volatility than the market (beta below one) are available for investors. Twenty-eight in total have such a wonderful ratio, of which 12 are recommended to buy. Linked are the 20 top-yielding stocks. Here are my favorite stocks: Time Warner Cable (TWC), Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and W.W. Grainger (GWW).
