Yes, dividend investing is popular. And it may become more popular if Congress extends legislation that maintains the low tax rate on corporate payouts for next year and beyond. A great place to look for dividend stalwarts is among those companies that have successfully paid out cash for decades.
The authoritative list of Dividend Champions is compiled by the DRiP Investing Resource Center annually and features those companies that have increased dividends for more than 25 years straight. The latest list details about 100 companies that have met the center's criteria, and these companies need not be part of the S&P 500 in order to qualify, unlike the Dividend Aristocrats index. So you won't see all the usual large- and mid-cap names that usually dominate such lists.
