Think About Selling These Dividend Stars

Since February 1, the S&P 500 is up 5%. Since it's February 11th low, the S&P is up a whole 11%. When times like these come around, it's important to know when to take some chips off the table. I've already 'cashed in' on several names, and will continue to do so as the market rises. This article looks at some of the dividend names I believe can be sold now or can be sold sometime soon if upward momentum persists.

If you've been long Public Storage (NYSE:PSA), then congratulations, because chances are you have some big capital gains. As for me, I sold all my shares in January of last year. Realty Income (NYSE:O) is another REIT which is substantially overvalued, in my opinion. Investors have flocked to this retail REIT during bad times as a 'flight to safety,' and have continued to jump in to Realty Income when the market was going up. J&J is up 10% from its February low. The medical conglomerate, as a multinational company, has had the wind taken out of its sails by the strong US Dollar.
