3 Dividend Kings You Can Buy and Never Sell
Dividend Kings provide stability to income investors.
Overview
When I think about investing in dividend stocks, the first thing that comes to mind is security. I want a dividend stock I know will be there through thick and thin -- I'm not interested in companies like Wendy's, which just slashed its dividend in half.
The better choice is to look for dividend payers with a long history of growth. Enter the list of Dividend Kings, which comprises companies that have increased their dividend payouts for 50 or more consecutive years.
Details
To make the Dividend King list, companies must display disciplined management and a commitment to rewarding investors. And that's what I'm looking for when I think about creating a long-term dividend portfolio.
