Stocks from the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index are very popular because of the high-quality long-term growth of the index members. 54 companies are part of the index and every stock has managed to increase dividends over a period of more than 25 consecutive years.
54 stocks is still a huge number for an investor with small pockets. Over the whole world are more than 60,000 tradable equities and I believe that around 300 of them are very good long-term picks. Some of them come from a foreign country like Inditex, LVMH or Swatch.
I always look for good investments which give me a great long-term growing income. In America I found the most of those stocks. I don’t know why, maybe it's because America is the world’s biggest economy with a strong focus on growth and investor satisfaction.
However, I need to limit my screen for today and I like to highlight those stocks from the Dividend Aristocrats Index with the highest recommendation level. Linked is a list of the 20 Aristocrats most buy rated stocks from the index. Please let me know if there are some interesting stocks for you.
Here are my favorite stocks:
