FYI: Dividend-stock strategies have long been popular because of the correlation between steady increases of payouts and investment growth. But the low-and-declining interest-rate environment is setting the stage for attractive returns, especially for dividend stocks with value characteristics, according to John Buckingham, the editor of The Prudent Speculator.
Buckingham did a special screen of stocks held within Prudent Speculator portfolios to narrow the group to 25 that meet additional criteria, as listed below. He also provided three- to five-year price targets for the group. That is in contrast to the 12-month targets and ratings used by most Wall Street analysts.
