This week, I’ll show you five dividend stocks that between them have increased their dividends by more than 50 years and pay an average yield of nearly five-percent. Stick around and I’ll show you how to find the dividend stocks that will never let you down and reveal my favorite stock to buy.

Next we’re checking for dividend sustainability, how safe is that dividend and we do that first by checking the Payout Ratio. Remember, this is the percentage of profits paid out to cover the dividend, how much is paid to investors and how much of profits are held back for growth. A payout ratio too high means the company may not stay competitive, sales and earnings growth could suffer and eventually the dividend could be in danger. Now as a general rule, under 50% isn’t too bad but you really need to compare this with the payout ratio of competitors in the same industry.
Last check is one of the easiest ways to verify a safe dividend before you invest. In Financing Cash Flows, you’ll find information on the company’s payment of debt as well as whether it’s issuing or repurchasing stock. The point here is that any company with an extra cash to pay down debt and repurchase shares is in no danger of cutting its dividend. Even if earnings and cash flow were to fall, the company could cut back on its share repurchase program or slow down debt repayment. On the other hand, a company that isn’t buying back shares or with enough cash to pay down debt…you better watch that payout ratio closer and might be more worried about whether the dividend is sustainable in a recession.

Schd is great for growth and long term pays a nice dividend and will continue to grow its value and dividend. Good proven long term holding stock.

[@notroll1279]

I sold PRU at around 100 $ a while ago and returned at 79 $ yesterday. It still may go further down but a dividend return of >6.3% on entry price sweetens the wait.

Great video as always. I notice that you display the ATI400X ! I just got some too!

[@davidswan3071]

If you watched this video and purchased Prudential at $102, you now have a stock at $78. Key Corp is now at $12. Now is a better time to buy those stocks then when this video came out.

I've got PRU and MAIN, add to PRU whenever it gets below $90. MAIN under $35. KEY has been on my watch list for a long time, too. I don't invest in broad market funds that hold Exxon, still haven't forgiven them for Valdez. I'd put ABBV on the list, but not at the current price, MO too, though I have covered calls on all my MO shares and likely won't replace them if they get called away, just take the profit and run.

@@markjohnson1933 The difference is the Exxon Valdez wreck and oil spill, March 24, 1989. As far as I'm aware, they never made it right.

[@markjohnson1933]

@@Nemo-yn1sp It was complicated, but Exxon did such a great job cleaning up and paying all private claims that a judge cut the original 250 million fine to 125 million. They were then sued by the U.S. government and fined a record 2.5 Billion, which a higher court called excessive and was cut to 500 million. Tobacco has certainly been fined and sued. In Illinois where I live we used the money on smoking cessation programs and health care. If you have ever had a loved one die on lung cancer...well enough said. Money doesn't really help. Then of course we turn around and legalize smoking marijuana, thus encouraging the behavior we tried to stop with our wad from tobacco. Mind you I am not a fan of Big Oil, but I consider Big Oil and Tobacco to be exhibits 1 and 1A in the category of STEWPUD. I will suggest to you and Mr. Bow-tied that there are much better places to get a few bucks a quarter from dividends.

[@k4r4y]

I heard that REITs are working little bit differently. I mean they have to pay out +90% of profit to shareholders and they collect money from share issue. Could you confirm?

[@jmb1762]

REITs payout just like CEFs, BDCs and MLPs. But, they are different in several ways. First, dividends are taxed as ordinary income is. Never qualified income (tax advantaged rates). There are about 15 or so styles of REITs. And each style can have advantages and disadvantages. Examples are mortgage REITs, triple net lease REITs, land REITs, storage REITs, industrial REITs, etc. Because the disbursement is taxed at your ordinary income rate, they are better held in a tax-advantaged account. EPS is a useless gauge to measure a REIT's value or worth because of the amount of borrowing that takes place. The best metrics to use are P/BV and FFO (or AFFO) [price to book value and funds from operation {or adjusted funds from operation}. These metrics will require you to do a little more reading and digging into just what the company does and how they do it to get a grasp of it.

Schd is the safest pick and has cheap expense ratio.

[@travis4118]

@@geraldwilson727 check if NOBL has many of the SCHD (i.e. if you were to buy NOBL would you be getting x% of same stuff--now see expense ratio); plus does NOBL ever gives you a K-1 (not necessarily bad - just more cost to your CPA or a little pain for you)

[@geraldwilson727]

@TRAVIS411 that was what I was thinking of doing tonight do a deep dig into all the holdings within the company and doing the comparisons between them and voo

[@jmb1762]

NOBL does have a higher than normal expense ratio for investing in an 'index' of sorts. I prefer to go with just the top 4 or 5 to get a better return. Remember, even the Aristocrats have fair, good, very good and best dividend payers. The 'fair' and 'good' will pull the overall payout down.

Follow up on your broken spreadsheet and financial updates: The spreadsheet still won’t download current stock prices and asset class rows do not allow changing asset names even after following your download and tutorials for use. Here’s the conclusion that I hope reaches others who may want to buy your spreadsheet. I filed a dispute with my bank for a refund (product ordered was not delivered). If that’s the best you can do with a spreadsheet I think we’re all better off getting financial advice from someone else. After all, we all work too hard for our money just to have some dimwit who can’t even support his little spreadsheet give advice on something as serious as investing for retirement.
