Investors primarily want to invest in stocks that promise a steady flow of income. Dividend investing might prove to be one of the most dependable long-term investing strategies, as payouts can be easily reinvested for more gains. Dividend stocks are always a preferred choice since they provide steady income and cushion investors against market swings. They not only offer higher income in the current environment - where rates remain low despite expected hikes - but also provide relief in adverse market conditions.
