3 Good Dividend Stocks for the Future

Stocks that have a long history of consecutive dividend increases usually do better in a flat or down market than those issues that don’t pay dividends. Unlike most professional investors, I believe consistent, long-term dividend growth is a very reliable measure of future principle growth. Long-term dividend growth is a consequence of increasing revenues, increasing net income, good profit margins and excellent management. Patient investors are more comfortable owning a portfolio of dividend growth issues in a down or sideways market because quarterly dividend payouts partially offset or cushion the decline in market values.
