The Foolish Bottom Line

Despite what some bears say, the U.S. market is not on a verge of a meltdown. After the past two tumultuous weeks, the S&P 500 is still up 20% over the past twelve months.

However, there are always pockets of fear that can be found in a bull market, and right now mortgage REITs and high dividend stocks top that list. Once bond prices settle down a bit and investors realize that the sky has not fallen, I expect companies like American Capital Agency Corp. (NASDAQ:AGNC), Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:PM) and Altria Group Inc (NYSE:MO) to rise once again.

Leo Sun owns shares of Altria Group, American Capital Agency, and Philip Morris International. The Motley Fool owns shares of Philip Morris International.
