10 Cheapest Dividend Champions

Dividend growth matters for your wealth growth beacuse if you are getting more money from your investments, you will expect to see rising asset values.

A great year for dividend growth stocks is one in which there are few dividend cuts and fewer companies that failed to raise their dividends at the expected time.

I've shown several stocks on my blog that have paid dividends for decades but run then flat for a while due to special economic situations. It does not mean that the company is a bad one because they did not hike their dividend each year.

The Best Trading Ideas | 19 Dividend Stocks at All-Time-Highs

Do you know the feeling of false bets? Yes, you read right, false bets. If you buy a stock or you just shorted it, it’s a similar bet on the future. Sometimes those bets could walk into the false direction. In my blog “long-term-investments.blogspot.com” I present on a regular basis the stocks at new 52-Week Highs or even better, stocks at all time highs. I believe that it makes sense in any way to know what stocks are the hottest gainers on the market.

Recently, 35 companies realized price marks they have never seen before. 19 of them pay dividends. All-Time Highs are very good signals showing the strong investor confidence in the stock and indicating a well- running business.

At the first view of list, I have some favorites. I like the leading classes company Luxottica Group. Analysts predict for the stock a double-digit growth for the mid-term (next five years). Below the results are two high-yields, the other stocks having a low yield. Eleven stocks are currently recommended to buy.
