@rickythesteadyinvestor: 📈 What if you only invested in companies that had increased their dividends for 25 consecutive years? 🧪 BEATING THE S&P 500 | EPISODE 24 In my last experiment, chasing the highest-dividend-yielding stocks got CRUSHED against the S&P 500. But what if we added one simple quality filter? Every company had to be a Dividend Aristocrat — a member of the S&P 500 with at least 25 consecutive years of dividend increases. So I ran another 20-year experiment. 💰 $1,000 invested every year in the highest-yielding Dividend Aristocrat. 📈 Another $1,000 invested annually in the S&P 500. Same contributions. Every dividend reinvested. No voluntary selling. Did 25 years of dividend growth make a difference? And more importantly, was it enough to beat the index? The results surprised me. 👇 Are you a dividend investor, or do you focus on total returns? Historical backtest for educational purposes. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. #TheSteadyInvestor #DividendInvesting #DividendAristocrats #SP500 #InvestingStrategy
