10 Stocks With 100+ Years of Dividend Payments

Over the last couple of years we have seen companies fail to raise their dividend, cut their dividend and some even decided to stop paying their dividend. In some cases their financials did not warrant the change. One way to weed these out is to look for companies with a dividend culture. Below are 10 companies that have paid a dividend for over 100 years and have increased their dividend for at least 20 years. They are presented here in descending rank of how long they have paid a dividend:

7 Dividend Stocks To Take The Emotion Out Of Investing

Deep-down in my soul, I am a contrarian. The third quarter market run-up converted most of the great dividend stock buys into ‘ok’ buys (at best). As September came to a close, I felt a sense of excitement entering October. This is the month that stocks have traditionally gone on sale. I was prepared to make a double allocation (or more) depending on the level of the markets decline. It didn’t happen.  Once again, investor emotions drove the market in an unpredictable direction.

High-Yield Dividend Stocks: A Safer Approach

When people learn that I am an income investor, the reaction is often a desire to discuss high-yield investments. The uninitiated commonly confuse income investing with high-yield investing. The two are not the same.

Progress Update – January 2009

Once again it is time for a goals/progress update. I am pleased to say that my annualized dividend income increased for the month, keeping alive the string of 14 consecutive months of increases dating back to December 2007 when I began tracking it. As noted in December, 2009 will be a challenge to keep the string going. January saw Pfsier (PFE) cutting its dividend. With each cut and subsequent sale, my dividend portfolio becomes stronger. In January, I continued to lower my exposure to funds that appear headed to toward a dividend cut.

The Dividend Stock Life Cycle

The renewing of life. There is nothing more natural than the live birth of a child. In this birth there is life, hope, unlimited potential, and yes, eventually death. Though we don’t like to focus on it, death is just as natural as birth. In much the same way, it is natural for a percentage of dividend stocks to fail each year, either in not raising their dividend or literally ceasing to exist. As we plan for out own death by buying life insurance and making final arrangements, we must have a plan in place for when inevitable happens and we must sell an under-performing dividend investment.
