Welcome to my blog where I post about thoughts and analysis on different dividend paying stocks and ETFs. Having a portfolio focused on dividends provide a successful stream of income and you can watch your portfolio snowball increase each month. I will list and write about companies that are providing high, but stable dividends, preferably “dividend aristocrat” type stocks that continue to increase their dividend each year while grow in value.
Here’s a brief list of Dividend Aristocrats:
XOM
ABBV
ABT
ADM
AFL
PH
EMR
3M
CINF
JNJ
KO
PEP
HRL
MKC
SYY
ED
Personally, I avoid MO and WBA due to downtrends and I do not see much stability in those companies when solely looking at the chart. I’ve even taken VZ out out my portfolio in the past due to poor financial quarter and poor stock performance during the year period (yes, it does pay a nice dividend).
Notice: This is for entertainment and ideas within the dividend investing community. This is not professional advice, just my analysis and liked stock picks for a dividend income portfolio.
