Investing is something that many people make harder than it really should be. The biggest part of long-term gains in the market can come from the dividends that the top companies pay and increase on a regular basis. Dividends and increases in price create total return, and that is the key to building wealth over the long term. Another key? Don’t get shaken out by “the sky is falling” talking heads, that in many cases are failed Wall Street losers that still get a forum due to name recognition.
We screened the Merrill Lynch research database for dividend stocks that are rated Buy, have the lowest risk profile at the firm, have raised their dividend regularly and are in sectors that tend to perform regardless of near-term market conditions. We found four that fit the bill perfectly: AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) and Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO).
