Good evening, Investors can sometimes feel like the deck is stacked against them. If they’re not in the market, they’ll miss out on a return that can keep their portfolio ahead of inflation. But to get those gains, they may have to take on an uncomfortable level of risk.
If you invest in a select group of stocks, however, you have a chance to get market-beating growth along with regular passive income. And dividend stocks can provide investors with exactly that.
Dividend-paying companies are typically well-established businesses with strong free cash flow, which they use to reward shareholders. And once companies start paying dividends, they are likely to make paying their dividend a priority.
You can use the consistent cash flow from dividends to cover living expenses or buy other investments. Or, you can reinvest them to maximize your total return.
This is called compounding. And, over time, compounding allows your investment to grow, which then provides you with a larger dividend. It’s a proven low-risk wealth-building strategy. But, like any investment, some dividend stocks are better than others. This special presentation highlights seven Dividend Achievers, i.e., companies that have raised their dividends for at least 10 consecutive years. Generally speaking, investors who own dividend stocks are looking to hold them for some time. That’s because moving quickly in and out of these stocks diminishes the benefit of compounding. So, while you may not own these stocks forever, a long position is the best strategy for maximizing your gains while you do.
