MY TOP 15 FAVORITE DIVIDEND STOCK PICKS OF ALL TIME

Today, I am excited to reveal my top 15 #dividend #stocks of all time. I own 40 dividend stocks, and these are my favorite 15 stock picks. Since I already covered stock picks 1 through 10 in a prior video, I start today with stock 11, Starbucks (SBUX).

Stock Pick #11: Starbucks (SBUX)
My home away from home, my office many days, I absolutely love Starbucks. A lot of #investors tend to stay away from this company for political reasons. Personally, I stay completely away from politics, as I think it can often be a diversion. I love to focus on money!

Anyways, Starbucks is a favorite because of their brand, #1 payment-processing app, and huge compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of their dividend (an astounding 22.6% CAGR). If the CAGR keeps up, this dividend stock may yield upwards of 15% on cost 10 years out (15.8%). While not a value now, I hope to add more in 2019 if the stock drops in price.

Dividend Stock Pick #12: Cedar Fair (FUN)
This one may surprise you! Just like 3M (MMM), I first started adding this stock to my portfolio in 2018 (although I have been following it for years). With a tremendous starting yield of 7.03%, this one brings current cash flow to my portfolio.

Worth noting, this stock is a master limited partnership or MLP. Learn more about the tax consequences of MLPs in today's investing video. I buy FUN in lumps (and I don't reinvest distributions). I like to keep my accounting really clean due to the added issues with MLPs and K-1s.

Favorite Stock #13: Altria (MO)
Back in 2009 and 2010, my stock portfolio was almost 100% sin stocks. Since then, I have diversified tremendously. While a controversial position (being a sin stock), Altria is my #13 because of its high starting yield AND high dividend growth rate (usually it is an either/or scenario). In fact, I am yielding 20% on cost from the shares I purchased in 1/2009.

Top Stock #14: Kimberly-Clark (KMB)
I purchased a bunch of KMB stock in 2018 with the starting dividend yield in the +/- 4% range. With a lower dividend growth rate, this one is an anchor to my portfolio. The company is not going anywhere, and my family truly loves and utilizes their products. While I will not get rich with this stock, it provides a stable foundation.

Stock Pick #15: Southern Company (SO)
If you've been watching my channel since the early days, you know that I love Southern Company as a dividend stock pick. This regulated, publicly-traded utility pays a high current dividend. Just like FUN, this is a stock that I can rely upon for current yield if I need it.
