4 Dividend Income Stocks For Long-Term Orientated Investors

Conservative investors should be looking for predictability and stability above all else.

While you should also be mindful of valuation and try not to purchase income at overzealous market pricing, if the payout/yield at which you are purchasing is acceptable and sustainable, that should be a priority as well.

Below are four stock ideas for conservative investors with a long investment horizon. I'm a big believer in long-term value creation. Only over a long period of time, companies can unlock values, grow and finally create the maximun of return for investors and stakeholders.
