"It's never too late to retire early" If you are looking for a good starting point for investing, this watchlist is for you Buy-and-hold dividend growth investors know something that less experienced yield-hunters don't: It pays to be patient when you're investing for income.
Even if their yields appear to be low, to begin with, the finest dividend stocks – companies that boost their payouts like clockwork decade after decade – can produce higher total returns (price plus dividends) over time.
Regular dividend increases, for example, boost the yield on an investor's original cost base. So if you stick around long enough, that dismal 1% return on your first investment might turn into double digits.
Companies with a lengthy history of increasing their annual dividends can also provide some comfort. When a company manages to increase its dividend year after year, despite recessions, wars, market crashes, and other challenges, it sends a powerful message about its financial strength and devotion to shareholders.
Enter the Dividend Aristocrats of the S&P 500.
