Dividend Stock Investing: Another Idea for 2012
Dividend stock investing is one of the most conservative ways that you can invest your money in the stock market. Companies with a solid history of 10 years or more of rising dividends, low payout ratios and increasing earnings are hard to go wrong with. These stocks are especially well-suited for the buy and hold investor, who is planning on hanging on to most of the stocks in their portfolios for at least 10 years. Some companies I like that fit into this category include:Coca-Cola, Exxon Mobil, AT&T, Medtronic, Bank of Montreal, Chevron, and Mcdonalds.
