I can hardly believe that two months of 2016 are already in the books and that I’m already looking towards my potential March buys. The first two months of  the year have definitely been a roller coaster ride as we saw oil prices spike considerably, the health REITs get demolished and other dividend stalwarts stage nice returns from their recent lows. What does all this mean? Not much in the short term other than some opportunities to continue to load up on some great names selling at much better prices, value and yield. Going into March I plan to stick with my current holdings and not initiate any new positions. With that being said, let’s take a look at my March 2016 stock considerations.

First up in my taxable account I am considering adding to my Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADMArcher-Daniels-Midland Company (. I have been nibbling on this stock for the past few months as it had a difficult 2015 with falling commodity prices hurting ethanol sales, along with a strong dollar and weakened overseas economies reducing demand for ADM products. Currently offering a decent yield of 3.47% with a PE of 11.6, ADM is also offering some compelling value at current prices. Having staged a nice return from its recent lows, it’s slightly less attractive than a few weeks ago but still offering a decent value at current levels.

My next taxable stock consideration is Dover Corporation (DOVDover Corporation (. A company with a very long history of dividend raises, that is no doubt feeling a bit of pinch as demand for their oil and gas services are weakening in the near term, DOV still looks attractive at current prices. Currently yielding 2.78% with a moderate payout ratio of 44.0% DOV’s dividend still looks to be quite safe with room for future raises. With a current PE of 16.1 DOV is right around its five year average PE but will well below S&P averages. As with ADM, DOV’s share price has come up from its recent lows as oil prices rebounded.

Looking at my ROTH account I am considering The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TDThe Toronto-Dominion Bank (, The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNSThe Bank of Nova Scotia ( and Royal Bank of Canada (RYRoyal Bank of Canada ( with generous yields of 3.78%, 5.23% and 4.78% respectively. All three banks mentioned have payout ratios under 65% based on current cash flow which makes their dividends quite safe with room for increases.
