3 Dividend Aristocrats That Could Make You Rich
American business magnate John D. Rockefeller once said, "Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in." While most of us have more happiness in our lives than that, investors in general do love dividend stocks, and with good reason. Dividends are tangible evidence of the returns you've achieved by investing your hard-earned money in a company you believe in.
Dividend-seeking investors often prefer companies that have faithfully raised their payouts on a quarterly or annual basis for an extended period. The crème de la crème of dividend stocks are called Dividend Aristocrats -- companies that have raised their dividend every year for at least 25 years in a row. The following three stocks are veteran members of the Dividend Aristocrat club, and could provide a dependable source of growth to your portfolio over the next five, 10, or 20 years.
