Tomorrow is payday and part of it (approx. €7000) of this is to flow into new shares. I plan to invest part of my salary and my half-yearly bonus (I work in sales) in new stocks that I find exciting. I'm pretty sure about 1 & 2, but I'm curious about the 3rd stock you recommend.

$PFE (+0.42%) &$DGE (+0%) I will buy.

united Health or Nextera Energy ?

what do you think ? Or do you recommend something completely different?

I have often mentioned here that I am currently looking for stocks with nice dividends and moderate share price growth (doesn't have to be 20% per year). The aim is to take the volatility out of my portfolio.

Looking forward to your opinions ✌️

just leave out the third one and buy into the ones you're "pretty sure" about^^

@Gerit would be an option. But I would like to invest the money in 3 shares

You should take a close look at healthcare companies. What do you expect from Pfizer?

@MrMister Dividends 😂 and a small share price update
Pfizer is my 2024 turnaround candidate for me

@Growthvestor The challenge that Pfizer has compared to other pharmaceuticals is its high level of debt and the fact that it has no patents of its own for its products and lives exclusively from the purchase of certificates/sales rights and collaborations. I find other pharmaceuticals more exciting. But maybe there will be a turnaround, who knows.

Combination of nice, solid dividends and moderate share price growth, I would first think of something like $SIE. It's a cyclical stock, of course, so it's only suitable for volatility to a limited extent. Otherwise, $CLX from my portfolio comes to mind, which could perhaps match your objectives.

@DieEnte7 Thanks for the stock tips. Both will be on my watchlist for further research.

I'm betting more on the healthcare sector this year.
The energy sector is in a state of upheaval. No one knows exactly where the journey is going A new president in the USA could also change energy policy once again.

United Health is of course struggling with rising healthcare costs and nobody can say exactly how things will develop.
As far as the healthcare sector is concerned, I have been looking at stocks like
$VRTX and
$MEDP . Apart from that, I find $MRK interesting.

But of course we don't have 🔮 and that's just my personal opinion.

@Tenbagger2024 Thank you for your feedback. I will take a closer look at everything. Unfortunately, not all titles have a dividend ✌️

@Growthvestor
Yes, my dear, that's right.
My focus is not just on dividends.
Because I don't just see dividends as positive and they are also taxed.
Many companies pay dividends even though the company's situation does not allow it. Often the dividend is even financed on a debt basis, which even puts the company at risk.
It is better to reinvest profits in companies or buy back your own shares.

But this is not generally the case and dividends are also a good thing.

Why do you think there will be moderate share price growth at $DGE?

$PFE I also bought it recently.

$UNH is for me one of the best stocks for dividend growth& in my portfolio🚀
