Dividend Kings are some of the most popular income-generating stocks researched today. Unlike Dividend Aristocrats, these companies have delivered shareholders 50+ years of consistent dividend increases. “Consistency” is practically a given when you invest in these stocks.
The thing is, most Dividend Kings offer yields that are uninspiring, which may turn off the more adventurous investors looking to supplement their high-risk portfolio with higher-yielding stocks. As a more conservative investor, I'm often drawn to yield- I think it's normal. The issue is, high yield often means high risk.
