2 Non Technology Stocks I am holding right now in April 2020

Right now everyone is looking to invest and find new ways of making money. While new ways are always good but Old is Gold, old ways are tried and tested ways and some times they are the best!
Coming back to the 2 stocks! Remember these stocks are mix of UK and USA based companies!

  1. Aviva PLC : Aviva is one of the biggest UK General insurer, they are so big that nearly every household might have either Car insurance, home insurance or their pension with Aviva. Right now they are trading on 2.6 pounds which is 30% cheaper than they were before Coronavirus. Before coronavirus they were trading before 3.5 and 4.0. Aviva is also one of those companies they give dividend to their share holders. Without going into too much detail, if you look at table below, you will see divident per share has been very good, yes currently gov has asked to stop dividents but as soon as that clears, Aviva will be at great place to start paying dividents again.

  2. Carnival PLC: Carnival is one of the few organisations who is listed on London Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange. They are the biggest Cruise providers in the world, due to coronavirus they have been hit hard, they are trading on 70% cheaper than their original price. If you want to know more about them, you can go here on Wikipedia. 
    It's a stock which will go through trouble times but once things starts to come back to normal, it will flourish quick. For a long term strategy, this can be a great buy. Great risk gives great returns.
    In past five years they have paid great dividents



    2015 : $2.26
    2016 : $3.73
    2017 : $3.61
    2018 : $4.45
