17 Fast Growing Dividend Stocks With An Unbelievable Momentum

Growth investors are looking for the next big thing that rules the market. They scout for stocks with enormous growth with hopes to pay later big dividends on a small investment when they have grown out.

Growth is wonderful and if I'm honest, I like stocks like Apple or Facebook too. Regretless, they are not only unicorns, more often prices are skyrocket; more likely in the case of Salesforce or Amazon than for Apple.

Today I've tried to compile a list of the fastest growing dividend stocks with unbelievable high growth rates, stocking not at a rate of more than 10 percent for the latest quarter over quarter reports.

I've selected only those stocks with a very large market capitalization of more than 10 billion in order to keep the big risk off the table.

As a result, 17 stocks joined my finishing list. Four of them have a yield over 2 percent, which is very comfortable in times of low interest rates.

Please let me know your thoughts about the winning list. Do you like some of the stocks?

10 Top Dividend Champs At 52-Week Lows

I personally look at stocks that are not popular on the market. Those are companies with decreasing stock prices which does not mean that they have a bad running business. Sometimes, there is something wrong with the sentiment or the technicals, only a market issue.

Bottom fishing can sometimes be a big mistake for novice investors. In the past I found it easy to convince myself that buying a stock at the 52 week low is not a risky proposition because of that stock's low price relative to past earnings, dividend yield, or some other metric of value.

But in reality, buying a down trending stock is always risky, as you are betting against the market itself which does not mean that it is bad. Swimming or acting against the storm or crowd could be profitable.

Today, I like to show you those stocks from the Dividend Champions list that is trading around its one year lows. It's only informational but there are also some good names on it. Which do you like?

REIT Investing: 6 Top Picks From The Dividend Growth Space

REITs pay high dividends due to the fact that they need to pay high amounts of their assets and gross income in order to keep their REIT status and therefore the tax optimized corporate structure.

Below are 6 top REIT picks from the dividend growth space that have a dividend yield of 5 percent or more.

4 Safe High-Yielding Stocks To Consider

Safety comes first, that's also one of my rules when I started to invest money into the stock market. I believe that it gives you a solid return to avoid the big risks because each loss you don't need is also a gain you don't need to catch by taking higher risks.

They all have exceptionally low stock price standard deviations. These 3 businesses also have strong competitive advantages that insulate them from the worst effects of recessions. In short, these are 4 high quality businesses that score high marks for safety.

Recently, I wrote about domestic and foreign dividend paying small-and midcaps that could give investors a bigger opportunity for rising returns via a small capitalization. The disadvantage is definitely the higher risks.

7 Of The Most Underestimated Dividend Stocks

It's hard to define a solid investing criterion which could bring you solid gains while excluding the big risks. 

I personally believe in dividends as a safe haven criteria because cash you have received in the past could compensate a potential loss.
