The S&P 500 has historically returned about 10% since 1928. That means if you’d invested in an S&P 500 index fund, you can expect it to double your money in a little over seven years. That's not a bad case for retirement portfolios.
Buying the right Dividend Aristocrat will work wonders if you want to replicate that 10% return and earn dividends. These stocks have 25-plus years of dividend increases, meaning you get more income over the long run. The longer your investment horizon is, the better it is for you.
