Good Times Ahead For Dividend Investors

Good times are ahead for dividend investors! Readers may react to this headline with puzzlement or amusement because of the very good times we have been experiencing recently. Share prices of big dividend payers like Proctor & Gamble (PG), Verizon (VZ) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) have equaled or surpassed broad market averages during the current bull market, paying very nice dividends to boot.

A strategy of selectively and intelligently raising cash is simple, but has compelling advantages in the present set of economic conditions. It virtually eliminates loss risk, allows capital gains to be realized, and sets the stage for higher future income. It reduces one's participation in market gains in the immediate future, but based on the present extreme conditions such gains are more precarious by the day.
