Five Dividend Stocks For A Frothy Market

When Anil Tahiliani surveys the investing landscape, he doesn’t see a lot of screaming bargains. “It’s getting harder to find value,” says the portfolio manager with McLean & Partners Wealth Management in Calgary. “There’s no big rush to put gobs of money to work right away because there aren’t a lot of cheap stocks out there.” McLean & Partners, which manages money for high-net-worth individuals, has a core group of stocks that it plans to hold for the long term and would consider adding to on any price weakness.

Most of these “best long-term ideas” are mid-cap and large-cap equities with strong balance sheets and growing free cash flow to fund dividend hikes and share buybacks. “We look for companies that have an economic moat or sustainable competitive advantage,” he says. Here’s a sample of the stocks he likes: United Parcel Service (UPS), Baytex Energy (BTE-T), Precision Drilling (PD-T), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Intact Financial (IFC-T).
