Stocks With Above Market Performance (DIV)

My goal as a dividend growth investor is to build a steadily increasing income and not necessarily to outperform the market via capital gains. However, as numerous research projects have shown, a conservative dividend-based investment strategy has consistently outperformed the market over time. Now that we are passed mid-year, let’s take a look at some of the above average dividend performers for the first six months.

When a stock under performs the market (assuming there is not a fundamental reason for doing so), two important things are happening: 1.) it is becoming relatively cheaper and 2.) its dividend is becoming more attractive relative to the market. The opposite is occurring for the stocks listed in the first group.
