Pawn lending, funeral services, and water utilities generate demand regardless of economic conditions. EZCORP, Carriage Services, and York Water are three companies proving that's the case.

York Water Company is the oldest investor-owned utility in the country and has an unmatched streak of paying uninterrupted dividends. YORW's combination of capital spending, organic customer growth, and acquisitions paves the way for diluted EPS growth. The water utility's interest coverage and debt-to-capitalization ratios are healthy.

The second-priciest stock market in history has made it challenging to find a fundamentally attractive deal. The only new stock I've added this year has been paying a continuous dividend for 210 years!
