50 Years Paying Dividends

Sharing is caring!

50 years paying dividends

Hey guys I know how hard it is for some of you out there to trust the stock market or the fact that you hear of random stock tips by non-credible sources. Let me tell you that the stock market does have risk, and nothing is guaranteed. In addition to this there is risk with letting your money lose value sitting in a measly bank account or under the mattress, due to inflation.

What can you do to protect your hard-earned money aka Mula?

-Have a great offense to accompany your defense. Look for companies with a history of 50 years paying dividends.

Did you know that many companies have been in business for over 50 years and been paying and increasing dividends for the exact same time frame. Yes you heard it here first and I know with information comes power. Companies are in the business to make money, which includes making money for the owners of the business aka Share owners. Your next question would and should be; What are the mysterious companies you are talking about and how can I invest in them? See below for the list of Dividend Champions:

50+ Years Paying Dividends:

-3M Company
-American States Water
-Cincinnati Financial
-Coca-Cola Company
-Diebold Inc.
-Dover Corp.
-Emerson Electric
-Genuine Parts Co.
-Johnson & Johnson
-Lowe’s Companies
-Northwest Natural Gas
-Parker-Hannifin Corp.
-Proctor & Gamble
-Vectren Corp. 

Now after you just learned that these companies offer 50 years paying and increasing dividends for shareholders wouldn’t it make you a little bit more at ease investing in one of these companies? If you maintain a long-term position in these companies and reinvest all the dividends into new shares of stock I believe you can beat inflation hands down. In addition to having a good track record most of these companies have had stock splits throughout the years and that means more shares in your pocket. (aka More Profit)

Granted history does not repeat itself and past results may not indicate future results, but wouldn’t you rather be in the game than thinking, I could have made so much money if I had invested. Just a brief example for you, if you had invested 1,000 dollars in Coca-Cola in 1962 those shares would be worth about 165K dollars today. Obviously it would be a lot more with all the stock splits and if you invested more dollars through out the years. (Calculator did not take into account the stock splits)

Any of these stocks above are available through the myriad of online discount brokers and directly by contacting each company’s shareholder services for the dividend paying companies. Research the fees associated for each and make a decision as to what is best for you.

Now tell me would you be more confident investing in a company that has never stopped a dividend payment for 50+ years?

  1. You actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually one thing that I believe I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and very huge for me. I am taking a look forward on your next post, I’ll attempt to get the cling of it!
