Want $10,000 in Annual Dividend Income? Invest $93,200 in These Ultra-High-Yield Stocks.
Among the many successful strategies investors can choose from, perhaps none has a better track record than buying dividend stocks.
In 2013, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, a division of JPMorgan Chase, released a study that compared the performance of publicly traded stocks paying a dividend to those not offering a payout over a four-decade stretch (1972-2012). The results showed that income stocks mopped the floor with the non-dividend payers. With an average annual return of 9.5%, the dividend stocks doubled investors' money, on average, every 7.6 years. By comparison, the non-payers managed only a 1.6% average annual return.
