Risk taking should
be rewarded with higher yields. Most investors don't get paid for their
investments or risk preference. Dividend stocks could offer a small risk
compensation. Each dividend payment reduces your initial investment cost which
is really nice. Over years, you will have a large risk buffer.
Today I like to
show you some stocks with a long dividend growth history, high yields and low
beta ratios. I guess this should be a great middle way. My research focus is
limited to stocks with a consecutive dividend growth history of more than 10
years. Each stock should have a yield over 4% and a beta ratio under 0.5.
18 companies fulfilled my criteria of which eight are high-yields. 5 Master Limited
Partnerships lead the list of the results. Do you like any of the results?
