Perpetual Dividend Raisers Buy Perpetual Dividend Raisers. Buying stocks that raise their dividend every year is one of the most cost-effective strategies you can find. Because its so cheap, you keep more of your money, which gets put to work in the investment, compounding over the years and adding more and more to your principal. Furthermore, investing in dividend-raising stocks means you receive more income every year, increasing your buying power. Many structured products like annuities and insurance policies dont have an increasing benefit much beyond a cost-of-living increase, if they have any increase at all. But with a portfolio of Perpetual Dividend Raisers, youre likely to get a 5% to 10% boost every year depending on which stocks youre invested in. For example, Genuine Parts (NYSE: GPC) has raised its dividend every year for 56 years. Its latest increase was more than 11%. That kind of hike will keep you ahead of inflation for sure. Furthermore, whereas a bear market could crimp your returns with an annuity or whole life insurance, with Perpetual Dividend Raisers it could actually increase your return - as long as you hold the stock during the bear market and reinvest the dividends. As the stock price falls, as long as it pays and raises the dividend - and hundreds of companies raise the dividend during bear markets - your dividend buys more shares. The more shares you have, the more dividends you receive. So the compounding machine kicks into overdrive during a bear market. Then, when youre ready to retire, your income level is even higher because you own more shares of stock that are generating income for you from dividends. Im using dividend stocks that raise their payout every year to help me accomplish my goals. So, 20 years from now, if you see me aboard your cruise ship with an ear to ear smile, youll know that not only am I living the good life, but each year, Im receiving more and more income to do so. Good investing, Stuart + Mark
