I do not do sector and phase of the economic cycle investing. I do dividend safety investing. I own most sectors, but am light in some. That is okay with me.
When Simply Safe Dividends determines a company's safety score, they are not looking at the next year or two, they are looking across an economic cycle. They are not perfect, but if you limit yourself to Very Safe rated companies, there is about a 3% chance that any of those companies will have a dividend cut, based on historical data. Does not get much better than that, in my view. Those with a Safe range rating also do pretty darn good. Plenty of mid-yield dividend growers in those ranks, that are easily found using their screening tool.
