#7 – The Power of Rising Stock Dividends

Wes talks about an unassuming force when it comes to investing – Stock Dividends. If there’s ever a concept in investing to remember it’s this one. They don’t often make the flashy headlines, but the pursuit of dividends is perhaps worthy of a life’s work for any investor. Wes compares what you can get from stock dividends and bond interest based on a study done by his firm, Capital Investment Advisors.
