The Best Guarantee To Get Dividends Over 100 Years

Dividends are important for investors because they pay down your investment and reduce risk. Growing dividends are good but only a small group of companies could grow their dividends year over year. Look at General Electric (GE). The company reduced its dividends within the financial crisis but paid investors cash. Is GE a bad stock? No, definitely not. There are times in which the company has problems but for the long-term the business perspectives should become better due to a stronger and growing economy. This should not work for every company but for the average stock market.

Today I like to show you the 7 best dividend paying stocks that paid a dividend for more than a century, over 100 years or more.
