Could someone please advise specific stocks to consider? I'm not a complete novice here as I've been trading for awhile, but I was wondering if there were any Holla Forums approved ideas that I had not yet considered.
I'm looking at some index funds/ETFs that pay dividends. They've taken some pretty hard hits in some cases and if I can get them for cheap I feel like they'll be worth holding onto for a very long time because of said dividends. They'll provide a bit of passive income over time and I could use that in my life.
So far I'm looking at:
FEZ
EZU
VGK
DXPS
HEWU
A lot of those took a 10% or more dive today, so I'm pretty comfortable snagging them now and reselling them if they rebound well enough should I need to recoup my funds. Otherwise I feel as though these are good choices for long term dividends, even if they didn't recover right away.
I'm also looking at some banks, medical companies, and international companies that have taken serious hits. Apple is hurting just a bit from this (and some other stuff), but their price is still holding around $90 a share. Microsoft has dipped under $50 a share, and that seems like a better bet to me not only because it's cheaper, but also because I hate Apple products. They also refused to provide tech to the RNC because Trump hurt their feelings with his mean words, and if I've seen anything it's that those who oppose Trump end up stumped.
Google - or, more rather, Alphabet, the company that owns Google - has taken a slight hit, but they're still VERY pricey at $685 a share. Keep in mind, it was $700+ a share earlier this week, so it's not a TERRIBLE deal as they WILL bounce back.
I'm looking at buying into some media/entertainment companies as well, as the masses will ALWAYS need distracting. In particular, video games seem like a good idea. Take Two (the company that publishes Grand Theft Auto and everything else Rockstar does) has dipped down to a pretty affordable price ($30 last time I checked). Other companies to keep an eye on are Disney and AMC. The latter only went down by a few bucks, but I anticipate a continued growth for them no matter what because of The Walking Dead and Preacher.
What do you guys think? Any ideas? Am I missing things?
I hope this has been helpful to someone, at least.
