Dividends are important for
investors because they pay down your investment and reduce risk. Growing
dividends are good but only a small group of companies could grow their
dividends year over year.
Look at General

paid investors cash. Is GE a bad stock? No, definitely not.

work for every company but for the average stock market.
Today I like to
show you the 7 best dividend paying stocks that paid a dividend for more than a
