Traders in the defensive investment space are well-acquainted with Dividend Aristocrats—companies that have offered consistently increasing dividend payouts for 25 years or more (& listed on the S&P 500). That in and of itself might be enough reason for investors to buy such stocks. However, more discerning investors might want more before deciding what to buy. Reviewing price action and technical indicators for chart-based assessments is a popular complement to Dividend Aristocrat investment—and Barchart continues to make that easy for us investors with Barchart Opinions.
