Preface
The stocks featured below are members of an elite group of companies
that have remarkable histories of rewarding shareholders through both
thick and thin through both good times and bad.
Theyre called dividend growth stocks and for many of the analysts we
follow, they're the consensus investment of choice for anyone looking
to secure a potential lifetime of steadily-rising dividend payments.
Put simply, a dividend growth stock is a company with a proven track
record of raising its dividend year after year.
The beauty of owning this kind of stock is that no matter what happens
to its share price, as long as the company continues to grow its
dividend, you stand to collect larger and larger payouts each and every
year.
With all of this in mind, weve sifted through the recommendations of
several of the nations leading investment analysts and weve singled
out what we consider to be the best of the best dividend growth
stocks to own right now.
Together, these stocks could be the core of a solid dividend-generating
portfolio. You should do well by buying them at reasonable prices and
simply holding them for the long-haul, allowing their ever-increasing
dividends to compound over time.

Stock #1: Target (TGT)


Over the past 12 months, U.S. stocks -- as measured by the S&P 500 -are up about 14.5%. Meanwhile, shares of Target one of the best
dividend growth stories of the last half century are down roughly 2%.

Disconnects like this can be a dream for savvy dividend growth


investors focused on the long-term. In short, they offer a rare
opportunity to buy shares of a high-quality dividend grower at a
potential bargain price.
Not only does TGT have 47 consecutive years of dividend increases
under its belt, but the company has increased its payout by an average
of 19.8% a year for the past 10 years. And despite its recent problems,
it will likely do whatever it takes to keep its dividend track record intact1.
In fact, just as Moneypaper's David Fish predicted, TGT recently raised
its dividend yet again. The new payout represents a 21% boost from
previous levels. According to Wyatt Investment's Steve Mauzy, this
latest increase holds special significance. In short, It signals that all is
well within the company and that improvements are on the way. 2
With all of this in mind, theres no telling how long TGT shares will stay
at these depressed levels. So if youre interested in buying a Dividend
Champion on the cheap, then right now could be a great opportunity.

Stock #2: Microsoft (MSFT)


Microsoft may very well be the perfect dividend stock3. It may also be
one of the safest stocks in the world4.
In short, the company is a cash-gushing powerhouse with thick,
consistent profit margins and a huge competitive moat around its
business5. And not only does it pay an above average yield and a
dividend that's steadily growing6, but it continually buys back its own
stock too7.
One simple way to time your entry with MSFT is to buy the stock when
it's 1) cheap, 2) hated and 3) in a strong uptrend8 -- the True Wealth
trifecta coined by Stansberry Research analyst Dr. Steve Sjuggerud.
Long-term investors could buy shares on any pullbacks, plan to hold for
the long-haul and reinvest dividends all along the way.
Conservative traders looking to boost yield could consider making a
10% Trade by selling either covered calls or cash-secured puts.

Stock #3: International Business Machines (IBM)


IBM is among a group of World Dominator stocks that Stansberry
Research analyst Dan Ferris considers to be the strongest, safest
stocks in the market9.
Put simply, it's one of the largest companies in the world and it
generates a ton of cash. As a result, IBM has been able to raise its
dividend for 19 consecutive years, hiking it an average of 19.4% a year
for the past decade. Today, the dividend looks extremely safe 10 and the
stock looks dirt-cheap11. As an added level of assurance, SEC filings
reveal that Warren Buffett recently bought another 1.8 million shares.
Theres a lot going on in the FAST Graph below, but all you really need
to know is that when the black line is below both the orange and blue
lines as it is right now -- IBM is trading at a compelling discount.

Bottom line: If you're the least bit interested in owning a piece of this
dominant dividend grower, then right now could be a great time to buy.
You could even own shares for cheaper than what Buffett paid!

Stock #4: Wal-Mart (WMT)


If you're a long-term investor, and you're looking for a recession-proof,
"sleep-at-night" kind of investment with a strong history of paying
increasing dividends through both thick and thin, then Wal-Mart should
be at the core of your portfolio.
In short, WMT has paid dividends through wars, recessions and bear
markets its one of the strongest, safest companies in the world 12 and
it could pay you one of the the safest, largest dividend streams on the
planet.13
Right now could be a great time to buy shares too: put simply, Wal-Mart
is making more money than ever today, yet the stock price isnt keeping
up. In fact, shares have recently pulled back to a compelling entry point.
In addition, if you buy now, you can lock in one of the stock's highest
yields in history14.

As an added level of assurance, Warren Buffett recently bought another


chunk of WMT. We'd suggest following his lead, as it's hard to go
wrong copying the latest moves of the greatest investor of all time.

Stock #5: Procter & Gamble (PG)


Companies like Procter & Gamble are able to do well no matter what's
going on with Washington, interest rates, or tension in the Middle
East15. That's because PG is both legendarily profitable and legendarily
stable16. Its also one of the greatest dividend stocks of all time17 and
the ideal core holding for any portfolio18.
Considering the fact that the company has raised its dividend each year
for the past 58 consecutive years, it's natural for income investors to be
attracted to PG. Just think: If you had invested $10,000 in the stock 20
years ago, your shares would be paying you $3,000 a year today19.
Its no wonder then that Jason Fieber and Dave Van Knapp are loading
their personal retirement portfolios with stocks like PG. Consider doing
the same but wait for a pullback before buying: shares look overvalued.

Stock #6: Coca-Cola (KO)


Not only is Coke a significant holding of billionaire investors Warren
Buffett20 and Bill Gates21, but its one of the worlds greatest
companies22 it could be a perfect inflation hedge for your portfolio23 it
takes its shareholders seriously24 and it can produce high returns on
its assets without requiring large and ongoing capital investments 25.
As a Double Dividend Champion with 52 consecutive years of
dividend growth under its belt, KO has survived the Vietnam war,
hyperinflation in the 1970s, the 87 stock market crash, the bursting of
the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession and more 26.
On top of all this, as Wealthy Retirement analyst Marc Lichtenfeld
points out27, considering the fact that KO has raised its dividend every
year for over a half a century, is still lifting it at a considerable growth
rate, and generates plenty of cash each year in order to pay the
dividend, shareholders should have absolutely nothing to worry about
when it comes to the safety of the dividend. Its as rock-solid as it gets.

Stock #7: PepsiCo (PEP)


PepsiCo is the kind of company that is a dominant player in its industry
and that can sell its products no matter whats going on in the overall
economy. Its one of the safest stocks on the planet it has a strong
history of paying dividends like clockwork and its been growing its
payout by margins that have well exceeded inflation year-after-year 28.
Specifically, the company has increased dividends for 42 consecutive
years, boosting its payout by an average of 13.7% a year for the past
10 years in a row. And with a payout ratio of just 60%, it should be able
to continue boosting dividends in the future as well29.
While PEP is no longer the bargain that it was between 2009 and 2013,
the stock does still appear relatively undervalued at today's levels. For
more on interpreting PEP's valuation using the FAST Graph below, be
sure to check out Dave Van Knapp's lesson on valuation.

Long-term investors could consider buying PEP at current levels...


holding for the long-haul... and reinvesting dividends all along the way.
Conservative traders looking to boost yield could make a 10% Trade by
selling either covered calls or cash-secured puts.

Stock #8: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)


As a Double Dividend Champion thats posted 52 consecutive years
of dividend growth30, Johnson & Johnson is one of the worlds best
businesses31 and the kind of stock that has outlasted wars, recessions
and financial panics.32
In fact, there have been 10 bear markets since 1961 and JNJ has
increased its dividend, without interruption, through all of them 33.
In addition, if you're worried about inflation, you most certainly want to
park your money in stocks like JNJ. That's because history has shown
that businesses like JNJ, that are committed to treating shareholders
well, are a better option than owning gold34.
With all of this in mind, if youre looking for a true sleep-at-night
investment that you can feel comfortable holding through any kind of
market, then JNJ should be near the top of your list.
Perhaps thats why the stock is the largest holding in both Jason
Fieber's real-life, real-money Freedom Fund and Dave Van Knapps
real-life, real-money Dividend Growth Portfolio (DGP).
Long-term investors could consider buying JNJ at current levels...
holding for the long-haul... and reinvesting dividends all along the way.
Conservative traders looking to boost yield could make a 10% Trade
by selling either covered calls or cash-secured puts.

Stock #9: McDonalds (MCD)


McDonalds offers a substantial operational growth record, superior
dividend growth, and huge competitive advantages 35.
Not only does the company have 38 years of consecutive dividend
increases under its belt, but its increased its dividends by an average
of 22.8% a year for the past 10 years and has a payout ratio of just 58%
(which leaves room for future increases as well).
Thanks in large part to this dividend growth, every $10,000 invested in
MCD 20 years ago would be worth about $589,000 at recent prices
(assuming you reinvested your dividends).
Thats the power of buying a Perpetual Dividend Raiser like MCD at a
reasonable price and holding for the long-haul 36.
No wonder Bill Gates recently bought ONE MILLION shares of MCD for
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust.
All told, he now owns 10.8 million shares of this Dividend Champion
worth around $1.0 billion37.
Bottom line? MCD is as sure a bet as any stock out there.
Long-term investors could consider buying MCD at current levels...
holding for the long-haul... and reinvesting dividends all along the way.
Conservative traders looking to boost yield could make a 10% Trade
by selling either covered calls or cash-secured puts.

Bonus Stock #1: Exxon Mobil (XOM)


When two of the worlds richest men (and best-informed investors)
suddenly start piling into the shares of the same stock, investors would
be wise to pay attention.
In short, according to recent SEC filings, both Warren Buffett and Bill
Gates recently loaded up on shares of Exxon Mobil.
According to the filings, Buffetts holding company -- Berkshire
Hathaway -- purchased a little over ONE MILLION shares38 while the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust purchased 500,000 shares 39.
What's the attraction? For starters, the global population is expanding,
and with it, so are the world's energy needs. And thanks to Exxon's
size, scale, consistency and business model, it's well-positioned to
capitalize on this trend40.
If you're looking for income, the opportunity gets even better. With 32
consecutive years of dividend growth, a 10-year dividend growth rate of
9.6% and an ultra-safe payout ratio of just 37%41, XOM could be a solid
core holding for the long-term dividend growth investor.
It's no wonder then that it could very well be the perfect income
investment: it offers rising income, price appreciation and inflation
potential all in one42.
Long-term investors could consider buying XOM at current levels...
holding for the long-haul... and reinvesting dividends all along the way.
Conservative traders looking to boost yield could make a 10% Trade
by selling either covered calls or cash-secured puts.

average yield43 and the company is in great financial shape44. On top
of all this, despite its recent climb, the stock remains dirt-cheap45.
According to our interpretation of Chuck Carnevales FAST Graphs,
shares appear to be quite undervalued today.
Theres a lot going on in the FAST graph below, but all you really need
to know is that when the black line is below the orange and blue lines
as it is right now -- the stock looks to be trading at a discount.

Long-term investors could consider buying CSCO at current levels...
