2 No-Brainer Stocks to Buy With $200 Right Now
Dividend stocks are a great way to invest no matter how much money you have available, be it $200 or $2,000. A good way to identify investment candidates is to consider a combination of dividend yield and dividend consistency. On these two metrics, Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) and Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) stand out. But they aren't appropriate for the same kinds of investors. Here's what you need to know.
Enterprise Products Partners is a master limited partnership (MLP) that operates in the energy sector. There's an important nuance here, however, because it owns things like pipelines, storage, transportation, and processing facilities. It charges customers fees for using these vital infrastructure assets. That means that demand for oil and natural gas, and the things they get turned into, is more important to the MLP's top and bottom lines than commodity prices.
