The Best Dividend Stocks and ETFs for a Roth IRA Contribution

I personally like the area of dividend growth, though you cannot discount earnings growth either. Stocks that have shown an ability to grow earnings and pay solid yields can be impressive choices for long term investors. However, it is important to consider what type of account you have first, and to make sure that you are using this strategy in a Roth account for some of the reasons outlined below.

For these investors, a focus on companies that not only pay a nice yield but have shown an ability to grow dividends over time is essential. This look at dividend growth is especially advantageous for the long term, and particularly for those in a Roth account. You also want to find investments that can grow earnings too, as you want to take advantage of the Roth structure as possible. So if you are looking for some ideas for this year’s Roth IRA contribution, make sure to consider any of the ETFs or stocks below as they could make fine picks for income investors in today’s market environment: DineEquity (DIN), Vail Resorts (MTN), WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW) and Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (SMDV).
