5 Dividend Stocks For Long-Term-Investors

Experts suggest that in order to successfully invest for the long term, you need to focus on quality stocks that are stable and predictable, because what works today may not work years or decades from now.

Dividends play an important role within long-term investing. You get steady growth at low volatility, while also receiving dividends that you can use to reinvest in the company for more stock, or acquire new positions.

High-quality stocks as long-term investments is a great strategy especially when they grow, pay and rise dividends over time. Today I like to present 5 dividend paying stocks that may good long-run stocks for normal investors like me.

Dividend growth is more important than yield, that's a major issue from the dividend growth investing space.

The reason is simple, a fast growing stock that reinvest all of their generated money, could overtake every higher yielding and slow growing stock in a few years.

If you are a fearful investor who scared about the ups and downs of the stock market, you must consider low volatility stocks with strong and growing cash flows.
