The 5 Best Dividend Stocks to Buy for 2017

Investors have asked where to put their money, and here are my answers.

I’ll name five bargain dividend growers that should be on your buy list. Now let’s get started with these 5 utilities with little spark…

Crown Castle International Corp (CCI) is the largest provider of shared wireless infrastructure in the U.S. Mobile data usage is doubling every two years, and CCI owns cell towers and rents antenna space to carriers. ExtraSpace Storage, Inc. (EXR): Self-storage is about as recession-proof a business as you’ll find, as consumers buy more stuff when times are good and downsize their homes—and need a place to put their stuff—when the economy is weak. DDR Corp (DDR): As I pointed out on November 30, C-level executive Alexander Otto has been snapping up shares of his company of late: an eye-popping $7.5 million worth in November alone. Intel Corporation (INTC) is one of many big-name techs that have lagged the market this year; the chipmaker now trades at a reasonable 16.9 times earnings and boasts a 2.9% trailing-twelve-month dividend yield. Apple Inc. (AAPL) is up 6.6% year-to-date, well below SPY’s 10.5% rise, and trades at just 13.5 times earnings.
