Success Outliers: Dividend Growth Stocks

In his bestseller Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell explained the idea that success in many fields comes from factors that may be unusual in the population at large, but that are quite common among the outliers themselves.

Dividend growth stocks are usually considered to be boring, "defensive" investments. But I want to present them in a different light: As truly extraordinary investment opportunities that are outliers in the same sense as in the definition above. Their achievements fall outside of the normal performance of stocks generally. If you are on the lookout for a growing income stream to reinvest or to live off, stocks like these are anything but boring. They are sexy and way cool.
