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.
