As much as everyone would like to find the next giant growth stock, I find myself promoting the same companies over and over because they carry very, very little risk over the long term. Now, there has been great debate as to how to put together a risk-free dividend portfolio, including all sorts of screening criteria and even the notion that price points are not important. However, it can be much simpler than that, especially if you are a younger investor, like myself.
Look for companies with a history of increasing dividends. A lot of companies did not have to cut or reduce their dividends during the recession giving credence to their stability and self-assurance. This information is readily available. Lastly, diversify your holdings.
