Dividend stocks shine when markets get choppy. These stocks aren’t going to deliver flashy growth like big tech stocks or speculative small-cap stocks. But they have a purpose, and the best names in the sector deliver on that purpose on a regular basis.
The best of the best names are given the regal name of dividend kings. These are companies that have increased their dividend payouts for at least 50 consecutive years. For investors who rely on dividends for income, that kind of reliability is priceless. And for those investors with the time to reinvest those dividends, the power of compounding does its work.
