3 Top Stocks for Low-Risk Investors
Risk is what keeps investors up at night -- but you can do something about that if you pick the right investments. That's not to suggest that you can completely avoid it, but tailoring what you own to your tolerance for volatility isn't as hard as you might think. If you are a low-risk investor, income-focused Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD), Consolidated Edison, Inc. (NYSE: ED), and Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC) are three options that should be on the top of your watch list.
Oil and natural gas prices are notoriously volatile, which we've seen since oil prices tanked in mid-2014. Although oil has rebounded, prices have yet to fully recover. Less volatile is the need to move oil and natural gas from where it gets pulled from the ground to where it gets used. That's the midstream business that Enterprise Products Partners is focused on. It's largely fee-based, meaning that demand for oil and gas is more important to Enterprise than energy prices.
