30 Dead Dividend Stocks to Avoid At All Costs

Let’s face it: We are still dealing with too many negative forces and unresolved issues for our economy to see a meaningful recovery in the next year. (See 10 Reasons the Economy Will NOT Recover in 2010.) And while the stock market may ignore these facts for a while longer, you can bet your britches we won’t be seeing the market rally like it did in 2009.

Even if the overall market treads water or claws its way higher, it will not be the indiscriminate rally we saw in 2009, so there will be plenty of fantastic shorting opportunities in the year ahead. And if the market heads back down like I think it will, well, you’ll be sitting pretty if you’ve positioned yourself accordingly.

I want to give you five reasons you should be shorting stocks in 2010, and I’ll even throw in some potential stocks to short.
