Dividend investors seem a usually cheerful bunch. And why not? Every few months nice people at companies all over the globe send them money, just for owning their stocks. Stock went up? Here's your money. Stock went down? Here's your money. You own the stock, you get the money. Cheers!
Dividend stocks deliver above-average returns with below-average risk. Meanwhile, non-dividend payers trail the market, yet expose investors to above-average risk. The standard statistical measure of risk-related returns (known as “alpha”) shows dividend stocks’ clear superiority. Higher returns, lower risk. How sweet is that?
