Environment, social and governance (ESG) investing. Socially responsible investing (SRI). Sustainable investing. These are some of the biggest investing buzzwords of the past few years, pointing to a movement by investors pushing companies to be more conscious about their impact on issues such as climate change, diversity, human rights and sustainability.

But ESG, SRI and the like are more than just buzzwords. They&a;rsquo;re actually the principles behind several hot-performing stocks, as well as some of the more attractive dividend-yielding blue chips on Wall Street. And today, I&a;rsquo;ll explain how some of these &a;ldquo;do-gooder&a;rdquo; stocks actually translate their principles into better profits, bigger share gains and fatter dividends that we can compound into retirement riches.

Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch Right Now

Leave a reply

After two years of seemingly never-ending advances with very few shallow pullbacks the market has entered correction territory in record time.

It reminds me of a quote from investing legend Warren Buffett:

“For you see, Mr. Market is emotionally unstable. Some days he is cheerful and enormously optimistic At other times, Mr. Market is discouraged and terribly pessimistic”

If Buffetts analogy for the stock market rings true, this is definitely one of those times when the market is “discouraged and terribly pessimistic.”

But ironically, thats good news for you today. In fact, the news is even better than you may realize!

Coping With the Markets Emotional Swings

New investors may be unfamiliar with the idea of the market pulling back sharply over a week or two.

But if youve been tracking your investments for more than just the last decade, you know that when the market corrects, its actually a great time to take advantage of “discouraged and terribly pessimistic” traders.

Top Growth Stocks To Buy For 2019

Leave a reply

Our Top Pick for conservative investors for the coming year is a company that went through a management overhaul in 2015, leaving investors uncertain about the company’s future, observes Crista Huff, editor of Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor.

Mattel (MAT) markets toys globally under the brand names Mattel, Fisher-Price, RoseArt, Barbie, AmericanGirl and many more, including strategic relationships with Disney (DIS), Google (GOOGL) and YouTube.

As a result of its prior overhaul, the stock got left in the dust. Consumer goods stocks were additionally tossed aside during the post-election stock market run-up.

That gives investors a buying opportunity in the sector’s undervalued growth stocks, including MAT.

Mattel’s earnings per share, which will finish 2016 with weak 1-2% growth (December year-end), are expected to grow 38% in 2017!

This mid-cap stock’s 2017 price/earnings ratio is 16, and the dividend yield is a huge 5.4%. Mattel typically increases the dividend about once per year.

But it’s not just the expensive hardware that is allowing it to prosper — it’s that every machine needs a steady supply of the disposable instruments and accessories used during its procedures. The Fools consider the recent numbers, the outlook, and the investment thesis for Intuitive Surgical stock. But in the, say, anti-healthcare space, cigarette slingerPhilip Morris International(NYSE:PM) took a big hit as demand slackened in major foreign markets.

    On Friday, our Under the Radar Moversnewsletter suggestedshorting small cap China based carbon stock Tantech Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ: TANH):

    “The downtrend here is crystal clear; more of the same weakness is there on the earlier part of the chart you can’t see. What’s so compelling about the selloff is yesterday’s bar. The bulls tried to bounce back, but couldn’t… the buyers threw in the towel. TANH peeled back to close closer to the low than the high, and is following through — to the downside — today.”

    The company has increased that payout at a fast pace over the years, including 15% in 2017. NextEra Energy Partners expects that to continue in those to come, with it currently planning to grow the dividend at a 12% to 15% annual pace through 2022. Powering that growth will be a combination of acquisitions both from its parent companyNextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) and third parties, as well as organic expansion projects. Although, drop-down transactions from NextEra Energy’s vast portfolio of renewable assets alone can easily support the company’s growth forecast. Because of that, investors have the opportunity to earn total annual returns in the 16% to 19% range when adding the distribution growth rate to the current yield. That outlook positions NextEra Energy Partners to continue delivering market-beating returns, which is something it has done since NextEra took it public in 2014.
