Buy-and-hold investing requires an ability to quiet the noise and focus on your particular investment goals. That's where dividend stocks can fit well. These stocks generate regular income that you can use for expenses or to reinvest. And they also offer you the possibility of capital gains through share price appreciation.
Like any asset class, not all dividend stocks are the same. Investors will want to look for companies that have a history of consistently paying dividends. However, you also want to find stocks of companies that still offer growth. These can become the base of a buy-and-hold portfolio and stocks that you can comfortably own for a long time, perhaps even forever.
In this special presentation, we're analyzing seven dividend stocks that fit this description. These stocks have a history of paying and increasing their dividends, but each has also delivered a total return that is consistent with or above the average total return for the S&P 500 in the last 20 years.
