Dividend Investors May Want to Be Cautious

As stock prices rise on many of the stocks we all watch, the dividend yield for new money drops. Many of these publications, which offer their readers recommendations to find high yielding investments, are having a tough time finding stocks with decent yield. While it's tough to sell newsletters by recommending sitting in cash each month, the focus of many of these publications is changing.

When an adviser who typically recommends high yielding investments can't find any yield, the focus will often turn to dividend growth as a replacement. Sure, you can't get a decent yield on your money now, but by buying this stock, you can get that decent yield down the road because this company has an excellent track record of increasing its dividend every year.
