Low leveraged stocks from the S&P 500 Low Volatility High Dividend index originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com“. I love high yielding stocks but most of them have a high debt burden or they grow too slow or they are not really diversified for my approach

An index that covers stocks with a low volatility and great dividends is the S&P 500 Low Volatility High Dividend index.
