My 5 Top Dividend Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in 2024
The three major indexes gave investors a taste of the downs and ups of investing over the past couple of years, reaching into bear territory in 2022 and then rising in the double digits last year. It's impossible to predict with 100% certainty what the market will do this year, but there is reason to be optimistic about what's ahead. That's because history shows us bear markets always lead to better market times, and those times of strength -- bull markets -- last longer than times of weakness.
In any case, there's a type of stock that could offer great rewards no matter what the market is doing. I'm talking about dividend stocks, which pay you passive income each year just for owning them. In bull markets, you'll often benefit from these stocks' market performance and the extra income -- and in more difficult times, the dividend payments alone could bolster your portfolio. Here are my five top dividend stocks to buy hand over fist in 2024.
