Future Trends Favor Dividend Investing

In a recent article, the headline queried, "Is Dividend Investing Doomed?" The conclusion was, "not the death of dividends" approaching, but rather, "that we could be witnessing the end of low-risk dividend investing." Nothing is further from what the history of dividend-paying stocks has been and nothing is further from what the future should bring from high yield, low-risk dividend-paying stocks such as Exxon Mobil (XOM), Wal-Mart (WMT), Coca-Cola (KO), Wells Fargo (WFC), and many, many more.

The trends of the future also favor dividend-paying stocks. Ralph Wanger, manager of the Acorn Fund which has topped S&P by more than 25% since its founding in 1970, advised investors that, "If you're looking for a home run -- a great investment for five years or 10 years or more -- then the only way to beat this enormous fog that covers the future is to identify a long-term trend that will give a particular business some sort of edge."
