Which stocks do you like that pay dividends?

I’m not in the stock market near as much as I should be. I missed the growth the last couple of years, because I had chickened out.

I’m considering putting more money into stocks that pay fairly consistent dividends. What do you suggest?

I did a little research. I looked at Warren Buffets suggestions. Read some articles.

Do you know of a good website for calculating if you had invested X dollars in a particular fund or stock on Y date, you would have Z amount of dollars now. Also, if it can separate out dividends earnings that would be great.

I have money in dividend-paying mutual funds. In other words, the mutual fund only invests in companies that pay dividends.

Doing this – mutual funds – means that you are leveraging the whole market instead of just the couple of stocks that you happen to choose.

I recommend low cost no-load mutual funds. Vanguard is a good place to start.

This is my general strategy, dividend growth. Mutual fund returns have been less than stellar. I missed out on gains after the 2008 mess too. In addition to dividend stocks I like to play stocks that are obviously undervalued. Gopro and Duluth trading were my big winners this year.
