Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA - BBVA

With a dividend yield of 6.81%, quarterly dividend payment of 13 cents per share, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA, stock ticker BBVA, is a winner in my book. And my book is typically closed to bank stocks. BBVA is definitely a longer term hold within your Roth IRA stock portfolio. The dividend alone will convince you to buy and hold. Getting in now with a low starting point of $9.12. I believe there is a 200% upside over the long run.

BBVA is a solid bank and recently sponsored the NBA Rising Stars challenge. Click here to watch the highlights. That's no fluke. Many viewers of the NBA Rising Stars challenge may have said to themselves, "What in the world is BBVA?"
