| Despite the fact that the markets have pulled back significantly over the last six weeks, there are still a few companies that appear to be over valued at their current price. While I wouldn't short any of these stocks, I definitely wouldn't be putting any money into any of them either. Below are three companies that are expected to distribute a very nice growing dividend but their prices are estimated to fall faster than their dividend will increase. |  |
While some dividend growth investors may admire the growing dividends that these companies distribute, the overall loss in owning these stocks is not very appealing to me. I am currently avoiding these stocks with the intention of reevaluating them once again in 2015.
