5 Hot Dividend Stocks
Many people labor under the delusion that dividends are no longer important.
That's simply wrong. Over the past 20 years, dividends - and the reinvestment of those dividends - accounted for 32 percent of the total return from stocks. And this in a time when many investors scorned dividends as obsolete!
Over the previous 50 years (Sept. 30, 1937, through Sept. 30, 1997), dividends directly and indirectly accounted for well over half of stocks' total return.
Rising dividends not only put money in your pocket. They also testify that management believes a company's prospects for growth are sustainable. They are a sincerity barometer that tells you management is putting money where their mouth is.
For a stock to have dividend appeal to me, it should display both an above-average yield and a rising dividend. Here are five stocks that I believe have dividend appeal.
