Today, we are going through the top 10 most popular dividend stocks to buy and hold forever that could make you rich. These dividend stocks are in no particular order. Dividend stocks are one of the best yielding investments so we want dividends that are safe, stable, and are growing bigger every year. Microsoft is our first dividend stock which has beat the market by more than 3 fold and has grown 36.85% year to date. The dividend safety score for this stock is a B+ Which means that Microsoft’s dividends are safe and will continue in giving. Another great stock would be Apple stock which has a modest dividend of slightly above a 6. Over here on our dividend summary, Microsoft has a 10.45% growth rate with 17 years of dividend growth plus this dividend like many others is paid out every three months. Our next dividend stock is a favorite of some investors and it’s AT&T which has over a 7% dividend which ranks it as an A for dividend yield because it has such a high paying dividend. Even though it’s dividend yield is over two times what we saw for Microsoft, AT&T also has way more debt than Microsoft. AT&T is rated a C+ for dividend growth which makes it passable by most dividend investing standards. Here on the dividend summary we clearly see that AT&T has a phenomenal dividend yield and payout ratio with 20 years of dividend growth making it a good dividend stock to add to any portfolio. Here comes one of my favorite Dividend stocks, it’s Bank of America which has a moderate dividend yield for the financial sector but it has an A+ rating for dividend growth and it’s a personal favorite of both me and Warren Buffet. Bank of America investors have loved the last five years of a compounding annual growth rate of 40.63%. Even with the uncertainty in the market Bank of America has paid out its dividends with no problem because of the companies sturdy fundamentals. With a 2.8% yield and a 40.63% growth rate, it's a strong dividend stock that every investor should have in their portfolio. Next on the list, we have Cisco systems which have recently been a favorite of value investors but there is a slight catch. Depending on what type of dividend you are looking for this could be a great stock or one you might want to skip because it’s rank as a C- for dividend growth which makes it barely average but on the other hand Cisco is rank as an A+ for dividend yield with a mediocre dividend safety score. You also might find some trouble on Cisco’s balance sheet concerning their debt to earnings data which is always something to be conscious of. Next, we have Intel which is a great dividend stock, which has strap competition with Nvidia and AMD both of which I have in my portfolio. Intel has a slightly below-average ranking of a D+ for dividend growth so I would suggest maybe looking into Nvidia or AMD instead if you can handle the Dividend drop. Next, we have Exxon which I used to hold until I sold it all right before the oil industry tanked because I think with the rapidly growing EV sector and green energy on the rise it will put some pressure on the Oil industry. Exxon has a dividend safety score of a D+ which is below average not to mention that Exxon has a huge debt load which is another reason why I got out. On the bright side, Exxon has a massive dividend of just above 10% with 19 years of dividend growth. Up next we have IBM with a 5% dividend yield which was a great rebound stock play because of how it recovered faster than anticipated. IBM has a Dividend Yield rating of A+ but a dividend safety score of a D making it not ideal. The dividend summary chart might help because it has a high payout with 21-year dividend growth. Coming in at number 8 we have JNJ Johnson and Johnson which is known for its strong dividend payments and consistency. But because of recent events that have shaken the market Johnson and Johnson's dividend safety score was lowered to a D. Other choices you could look into would be Eli Lilly or proctor and gamble which are both excellent choices. Number 9 is Verizon which has gained the attention of many investors because of their 5g technology and because they have a B- dividend growth rating which is really good. Verizon has both current and future projects that are sure to impress. If you are investing in Verizon just to get 5g exposure I would highly recommend that you also invest in The Ark investing ETF ARKW. #Stocks #Investing #Personalfinance Source: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4378...

Today we are talking about Workhorse stock news if Workhorse Group is truly a good investment, what Workhorse Group’s management does not want you to know, and why WKHS stock along with other electric vehicle stocks are rising so rapidly. And with that being said let’s get into today’s workhorse stock articles. Workhorse Group has already been on the right track for years knowing full well that the world would turn to electric vehicles for better efficiency, cost, and sustainability. But what makes Workhorse very special is that Workhorse already has implemented their patented technology into their vehicles, unlike Nikola or Fisker who brag about their technology but barely have working prototypes or bragging about their order numbers when they have not delivered a single-vehicle yet. Workhorse is one of the few Electric Vehicle companies that keep it real, unlike Nikola who could be smoke and mirrors, or Fisker with their vegan vehicle seats to please an overall very small audience with that minor change. Now Workhorse Stock is still rough around the edges with a loss of 78 cents per share which was way below what analysts forecasted and they are set to continue their losses for the next two quarters yet. The majority of analysts still say to buy or hold WKHS stock. Now, this could be because of the good news of the optimistic production target of 1,800 workhorse vans to be made next year or the USPS contract. Now I am still bullish on Workhorse’s Revenue increase which went from $4,000 to over $500,000 year over year. Also, many of Workhorse’s workers are quarantined right and they will slowly start to go back to work thus allowing workhorse to have more manpower. Here is a warning if you are using Workhorse to make a quick buck and you are not an experienced trader. Now the first segment was rather bullish now I have to give the bad news. Workhorse lost $84 million dollars which the article says is equivalent to making the 1,800 vehicles Workhorse owes to customers and driving them off of a cliff. The reason I bring this up is that in 2019 Steve Burns who is the current CEO of Lordstown Motors left Workhorse Group to start another company and Workhorse came under new management who wastes money. They even decided to use a very bad way to finance their company, and that is with convertible notes. Workhorse has had a difficult time getting orders when their rival Rivian has an order from Amazon for 100,000 vehicles. Also, workhorse has burned through $158 million in cash when in that same period they only had sales of around $18 million. I am conveying the point that Workhorse’s management is not fiscally responsible. Workhorse got $70 million by convertible notes, the company then lost $84 million and the stocks went up. Now do not get me wrong, it is good that workhorse got more cash but they did it in a way that would hurt them and their stakeholders in the future. Because if it is well known that convertible notes can be bad debt why did Workhorse management finance $200 million more dollars in convertible notes. Workhorse executives have already earned 2.7 million in just stock options, and because executives get paid in Workhorse stock, they did not want to use the stock price. Now, this poor decision by Workhorse management will come back to hurt us in 2024 when they literally just could have used the rally for the USPS contract to pay for everything, unless they know they are not getting the United States Postal Service contract. On the bright side is that Workhorse now has the money and if it’s used wisely in production and research Workhorse can do very well. It took Rivian’s Founder who is an MIT engineer and his team to make a good truck in a decade. And because Workhorse already has an amazing foundation, more resources, and now much more money. Workhorse could top Rivian easily. Also, workhorse stock, Lordstown Motors, and other electric vehicle stocks should continue to rally.
