I ran across a great video today thanks to The Div Guy. The video is from Josh Peters at Morningstar DividendInvestor. He explains how dividend stocks generally outpace inflation. Furthermore, he offers up five dividend stock picks he feels are well positioned to clobber inflation. I found it interesting and perhaps you will too. I don’t usually embed videos but I made an exception in this case.
The Thoroughbred Folio keeps right on rolling along. The only dividend we received this week was from our front-runner, Nucor (NUE). The dividend was actually lower than the last distribution ($0.66 vs $0.77). At first I was puzzled by this, then I went back and took a look. Nucor distributed a supplemental dividend of $0.31 per share last time.
Nucor is still rolling out in front. Wrigley remains a strong second thanks to its potential buyout. Family Dollar has once again powered its way into the top three.
Holy cow! Wait a moment! Gannett has finally climbed out of the bottom spot. Fifth Third Bacorp now takes the unenviable position at the back of the pack. I don’t understand the beatdown on Fifth Third. The bank is still profitable. It seems undervalued to me right now. Rounding out the bottom three is Consolidated Edison.
