Potential bear phase iwith overall market in place requires patience with all longs. But this has a component of safety based upon industry. Otherwise a high cash position is still the place to be.

U.S. stocks wobbled Tuesday and ended the day mixed even as automakers reported improved auto sales and Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway said it would buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp.  Traders were reluctant to place big bets as they awaited the outcome of a two-day FOMC meeting which got underway Tuesday and Friday's monthly jobs report.  Although expectations are the Fed would keep interest rates in the 0-0.25% range, Wall Street has been speculating if there would be a change of tone in the policy statement.

Sideways stock movement likely over for Becton Dickinson Graphic_rating_buy BDX

Kelley Wright, a value & dividend investor, is cautious on the market; nevertheless, he sees long-term opportunity in the health care sector. Here's the latest from IQ Trends.

"I suspect that much of the current rally is attributable to fund managers moving their large stash of cash from the sidelines into the markets.

"No manager wants to miss out, even if their research and instincts tell them otherwise. Heaven forbid their performance is beneath that of their peers.

<>"I suspect though that this embrace of equities will be short-lived and will move elsewhere at the first hint of trouble. In...

10 Dividend Stocks to Buy Now

Below is my list of the top ten dividend-paying stocks to consider for purchase. Keep in mind that these stocks are not the best, neither are they the greatest companies in the U.S. However, the companies listed below have a proven track record of increasing their dividend over an extended period of time.
