Best Momentum Stocks to Buy for April 21st

The market is reacting to headlines, not fundamentals. Deep discounts are creating unusually asymmetric setups in quality dividend growth stocks. Patient income investors may be getting a rare gift to lock in big yields with strong dividend growth profiles.

Chevron, the only U.S. oil company operating inside Venezuela, saw the biggest gains Monday. ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil, which have unresolved monetary claims against the Venezuelan government, also climbed.

During times of turbulence and uncertainty in the markets, many investors turn to dividend-yielding stocks. These are often companies that have high free cash flows and reward shareholders with a high dividend payout.
