Don’t Sell in May: Buy These 4 Dividend Growers Instead

If you “sell in May and go away” this year, you could be putting a whole year’s worth of returns at risk. Now is the time to be adding top-notch dividend stocks to your portfolio. I’ll give you four my “second-level analysis” has uncovered in a moment. Jumping out of the market only to jump back in six months later is still a terrible idea. For one, you’ll miss out on dividends, which make up a big part of most investors’ long-term returns. And even at a 0.4% gain, you’d still be doing better than sitting in cash.

You’re better off using the summer months to fine-tune your portfolio, swapping out second-rate stocks (especially if they don’t pay dividends) for top-notch dividend-growers like the four below: American Express Company (AXP), FedEx Corporation (FDX), Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) and Target Corporation (TGT).
