Although the dividend-value strategy can be implemented with any company paying dividends long enough to establish a pattern, the chances for success are greater with blue-chip stocks. Forty-four years of market research show that the dividend-value strategy, when implemented through high-quality stocks with long track records for consistent dividend increases, provides a powerful tool for building wealth.

In the end it is the building of wealth, both capital and income to meet the present and future cash needs of the investor, that is most important. Invest in companies that don't take dividend cuts lightly. Stick with stocks that have a spotless history on payouts.
