Dividend Stocks for the Long Run

How do you diversify, meaning what measure? Stock price or dividend amount? Do you equal weight the stocks or do you follow the S&P 500 weighting? Equal weighting has proven to outperform the overall market recently because it underweights the financials. What do with your dividends? Do you return it to the individual stock thru a DRIP or consolidate all your dividends and then make a purchase? How do fees and taxes enter into your buying decisions?

20 Top High-Dividend Growth Stocks

I'm a big fan of dividends! Taxes are a consideration and in 2010, one may wish to look at non-paying dividend stocks for that reason. Whether to reinvest the dividend in the same stock via a DRIP or to pool all the dividends and invest in the best opportunity has pro's and cons' both ways. I prefer to use DRIPs where the company pays all or most of all the fees.

Will You Look Back on Today as Your Greatest Missed Opportunity?

I own all dividend paying stocks. I buy only thru transfer agents and reinvest all dividends. Brokers only make you broker. I own BBT and JNJ and they pay all the fees except for selling.
