On the surface, the concept of “dividend investing” seems like a very straightforward idea. Invest in companies that make distributions, reinvest those dividends regularly, and slowly accumulate wealth over the long run.In reality, however, implementing a successful dividend income strategy for your portfolio is far from an easy task.

Dividend Investing is Equivalent to Value Investing and 5. Dividend Stocks Are Always Safe Stocks.
