Any good investor should have their eyes on Dividend stocks at all times. These are a few I've been watching, for better or worse.
YUM! - Normally a powerhouse in the stock market, YUM! has had a tough year to say the least. Fast food is getting a touch reputation, and not just here but across the globe. Due to the difficulties in China and Russia the company has lowered growth expectations in 2015 to 10%. However, that's still not promised. If YUM! suffers more bad publicity, or things don't go well in Africa this company could be in for some issues.
AAPL - With the release of a new computer, Iphone, and wearables about to hit the scene Apple is a good stock to buy. Not only is this company ridiculously profitable, they're items sell, they will cotinue to sell and they have more things coming out. This stock will not only pay you dividends, but
grow as well. These are the dividend stocks I like.
HIG - The only thing that derailed this company's climb was the crash of 2008. Since it has been steadily growing back. Dividends are good investments because you don't have to depends on the stock price to make a return on your investment. But dividend stocks that grow are the best, because you get better growth and protection along the way (assuming you play it right)
Happy Investing!
