Filed under: Rants and raves, Market matters, Walt Disney (DIS), Johnson and Johnson (JNJ), Chubb Corp (CB), Teva Pharm Indus ADR (TEVA), Serious Money, Stocks to Buy, Best Stocks for 2008, Xcel Energy (XEL)  Well, the market was in the dumps yesterday and is even worse today. So this may be a good time to check on my list of stocks for those looking for equities that are stable enough to ride out this bearish storm.
<>This update is a spot-check of my earlier post Serious Money: Five stable stocks for troubled times, to see how my picks are holding up so far. Closing prices are for August 12, ...

The Chubb Corporation: Quality Insurance Company at a Discount
CB
-15.39%
in
343 days
<>Chubb (CB), like many of its Property and Casualty Insurance competitors, is trading at very low multiples - a P/E of 7.1 at today's price in the area of 47. While industry fundamentals are declining, I think much of the price reduction is part of the over-reaction to the credit crisis and a distaste for financials of any type. CB has increased their tangible book value per share at a rate of 10% a year for the past 10 years - a remarkable record of consistent results. With a secure dividend of 1.32, yielding 2.81% at today's price, and with the company buying back its shares at today's dis...

The Chubb Corp. (CB)
CB
-24.95%
in

<>The Chubb Co. is a profitable property and casualty insurance operation. CB has outperformed the S&P for many years, but with less volatility (beta .91). Although the current dividend yield of 1.89% is a bit light, dividend growth has been quite satisfactory - Chubb has raised the dividend annually for at least 25 years - and the payout ratio is modest. CB’s annual total return potential appears close to 12%. This stock looks quite cheap by conventional valuation standards. The P/E ratio and P/CF ratio are both below 9. The company is financially sound and has relatively little long-ter< />...
