Owning shares in these high-yielding dividend stocks can pay off big
No-brainer dividend stocks provide investors with a safe
place to put their money and leave it. A dividend is the distribution of a
company’s earnings to its shareholders that typically takes the form of a
quarterly distribution. However, some dividend distributions are made on a
monthly or annual basis.
Most dividends are paid out as cash or in the form of a
reinvestment in additional stock of the company. How much of a dividend an
investor gets depends on how many shares of a company’s stock they hold.
Over time, dividend payments can add up significantly and
many people come to depend on them as a source of income, particularly in
retirement. Investors with big stock holdings can earn millions of dollars a
year from dividend distributions.
For example, famed investor Warren Buffett owns 400 million
shares of Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO). Hr earns $704 million a year in dividend
payments based on Coke’s annual dividend payout of $1.76 per share.
That’s just one of many high-yielding dividend stocks the
Oracle of Omaha has in his portfolio. Here are seven no-brainer dividend stocks
to buy if you have money to invest.
