Episode Details

Everyone talks about dividend aristocrats but did you know there’s actually 5 other categories? The aristocrats only fall in the middle and have metrics that by definition make them trendy growth stocks, which isn't what we're looking for. 

The main thing to focus on with these dividend categories is how many years of dividend growth they need to get the title.
