Defending Your Portfolio With 35 Years Of Dividend Growth
Decades of consecutive dividend growth are a great sign for dividend investors. It shows the company is committed to not only paying its dividend, but also raising payments during difficult times. One company just raised its dividend for the 35th consecutive year. It means the dividend was raised during some pretty tough periods, including the […]
20 Years Of 10%+ Dividend Growth
Now is a great time to buy up quality dividend stocks. The stock market is down about 6% from its highs in February. But some stocks are down a lot more. American Express (ticker: AXP), the popular credit card issuer, has been a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average for more than 40 years. […]
12% Dividend Yield Investing In The S&P 500
There are a lot of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with really high dividend yields. But you need to be incredibly careful. Some of these funds are doing some crazy stuff. And you can get burned if you don’t understand what these funds are doing. One fund in particular is gaining in popularity, so I wanted to […]

We’re right in the middle of tax season. Some of you are already done. You’re the lucky ones! The rest of us are trying to finish before the April 15 deadline. If you need some help, one company is available. And if you need help with dividend income, it’s got you covered there as well. […]
Industry With High Dividend Yields Is Booming
The stock market is down so far in 2026. But one industry is really taking off, especially in the last few weeks. Shipping, especially maritime shipping, has been on a tear. Over the past 6 months, maritime shipping stocks are up almost 30%. The S&P 500 is only up 4%, with most of those gains […]
Regional Bank With Double-Digit Dividend Growth
I really like regional banks. They have a lot of room to expand. And they don’t get the attention of the massive banks, so you can really find some diamonds out there. One regional bank should’ve been on my radar a long time ago. I used to work with them! Hancock Whitney (ticker: HWC) is […]
A Golden 4x Dividend Hike
I’ve seen some companies with amazing dividend growth. But a mining company just did something I’ve never seen before. We’ll get to it in a minute. Mining stocks have gone crazy in the last year. The price of gold is really driving the stock price gains for some of these mining companies. In the last […]
18% Dividend Growth From A Popular Investment Firm
We all deal with investment companies. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to buy and hold any of our stocks! However, despite working with investment firms continually, many investors don’t actually invest in these firms themselves. And it’s a mistake. Charles Schwab Corporation (ticker: SCHW) is one of the largest investment companies around. It manages almost […]
High Dividend Yield (5%+) With High Growth (9%+)
Most dividend stocks have a trade-off between yield and growth. Companies with high dividend yields generally don’t grow their dividends a lot. It makes sense why. Those companies are paying out a lot of their earnings in dividends rather than reinvesting to grow the business. It isn’t a bad thing, just different. On the flip […]
A Utility With Rare 6% Dividend Growth
Utility stocks are great for dividend investors. They’re very stable relative to the rest of the stock market. Plus, they pay very high dividend yields. However, utility stocks aren’t known for their dividend growth. But there are exceptions. Alliant Energy (ticker: LNT) is an electric and natural gas utility in the Midwest. Alliant isn’t particularly […]
