23 High Quality, High Dividend Stocks

At a point in your life, I think dividend investing is the only way to go (when you live out of your portfolio). Growth and value styles take way to much time and when you see the score cards of well paid and educated analysts, it is clearly more guesswork than science. What's the difference with dividend investing? Dividend investing gives you clear entry points, holding criterions and selling signals. No guesswork, facts. In the meantime, you cash in.
I invested a good bunch of money in high dividend strategy funds, BEFORE the crash. I loose a bunch on capital, if I HAVE TO sell, like everybody else. In the meantime, I still get more than 9% cash dividends on the amount initially invested. I can wait. The key is to have an asset allocation that doesn't put you in a situation where you have to sell but that's valid for any investment style anyway.
