Dividend Stocks To Buy?
32 Years Of Stable, 8% Dividend Growth
One of the reasons we like dividends is because they’re stable. Getting cash in our accounts every quarter (or every month) helps us sleep well at night. However, stable doesn’t mean flat. We need our dividend checks growing… otherwise they lose value from inflation. So, a stable dividend is great, but a dividend with a […]
New US Listing With A Surprising Dividend
I found a really interesting company the other day. And it’s very confusing… so I wanted to talk about it. Sunbelt Rentals (ticker: SUNB) just started trading on the NYSE in March. But the company has been paying a dividend since 2012. How is it possible for a company to just start trading, while also […]
High-Occupancy REIT With Dividend Growth
A few weeks ago, we discussed Gaming and Leisure Properties (ticker: GLPI), a real estate investment trust (REIT) owning casino properties across the United States. The company has a 100% occupancy rate, which is incredible. However, Gaming and Leisure owns only 71 properties, so the 100% occupancy rate, while impressive, has a small asterisk next […]
Digging Into A Popular Dividend ETF
A few months ago, we talked about Charles Schwab (ticker: SCHW), a financial services company. Schwab has averaged over 11% dividend growth each year over the past two decades. It’s on quite a run for dividend investors. But we’re not going to talk about Schwab. Instead, let’s discuss one of Schwab’s most popular products, the […]
Private Markets Investing With 10% Dividend Growth
There’s a whole world of investing most people don’t even know about. It’s more than just stocks and bonds! Investing in art, commodities, derivatives, private companies, and real estate are a few other areas investors can park some cash. It’s called alternative investing, and some investment firms specialize in matching investors with some different places […]
The House Always Wins
Some people treat investing like gambling. They buy and sell options contracts or use leverage to juice their returns. Sometimes it works out, but most of the time they lose everything. Dividend investing is the opposite of gambling. Sure, it’s still the stock market, so there’s always some risk. But we’re looking for stable companies […]
Small Community Bank With 22 Years Of Dividend Growth
The regional bank industry is interesting for dividend investors. They’re similar to the larger national banks, but the size differences among regional banks can be enormous. Some regional banks are worth over $100 billion, while others are only a few million. Smaller regional banks don’t get enough attention… and we can find some great ones […]
A Stable Utility With 25 Years Of Dividend Growth
Most of us like dividend stocks for their stability. It’s nice getting some cash every quarter from the stocks we own. However, even dividend stocks can have periods of crazy price movements. The past two months have been pretty nerve-wracking with the war in Iran. It seemed the stock market was going to fall off […]
How To Profit From The Oil Supply Crunch
Crude oil is produced in many parts of the world, but the easy-to-find, low-cost Persian Gulf oil has enabled that region to capture 20% of the global oil market. And the war against Iran has shone a light on the Strait of Hormuz as a choke point that could cut off a large share of […]
58 Years Of Consecutive Dividend Growth
There are only about 55 companies considered to be Dividend Kings. Dividend Kings are companies with dividend growth for at least each of the last 50 years. It’s quite the accomplishment for a company to raise its dividend for so long. Just think about it… these companies raised their dividends during recessions, bank crashes, and […]
