As Life Expectancies Rise, Death Care Stocks Offer Opportunities

As life expectancies increase, RealMoney Pro contributor Chris Versace reveals ways investors can play the aging U.S. population. From traditional healthcare companies like Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer to not-so-traditional death care stocks, Versace says there's opportunity to be found. He recommends stocks like cemetery and funeral home operators StoneMor and Carriage Services. Versace recommends that investors who are geared toward dividend yields look at StoneMor, while investors who are more focused on earnings per share should focus on Carriage Services. He recommends that investors consider this little-followed sector that revolves around an inevitable part of life as the U.S. population gets older.
