Consumer Dividend Stocks That Are Highly Shorted

Consumer goods dividend stocks with highest float short ratios originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com“. Consumer goods stocks are often the most preferred source for dividend growth investors. I don’t know why but consumer stocks have the largest amount of stocks with a solid dividend history. They are less volatile and work with good margins. For sure the growth perspective are not a good as for technology stocks and the debt is also everything else than slim but they are still attractive.

Today I like to close my monthly serial about dividend stocks with the highest float short ratio. I like to look at the consumer goods stocks and excluded stocks with a market capitalization below 300 million as well as stocks without dividends. My top 20 stocks have a float short ratio between 8.21 percent and 28.92 percent. Here are the results with the highest float short ratio: Pitney Bowes (PBI), Monro Muffler Brake (MNRO) and Columbia Sportswear (COLM).
