Summary
Learn why investing in dividend paying stocks can be a dividend trap and how to avoid it.
There's a problem with choosing the highest dividend - you may be incurring more risk. In this podcast, I explain why and how some companies have very high dividends and why they may not be a sign of financial health.
Learn 3 companies that have recently raised their dividend.

Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not?
If you invest $10,000 per year for retirement, but earn only 2%, after 20 years you'll have $262,692 and after 30 years $431,908.
However, if you invested for growth and the stock market averaged 10% annually, your $10,000 per year would grow to $697,299 after 20 years and $1,983,928 after 30 years! A huge difference. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!Â

| 0:37.0 | Welcome to Be Wealthy and Smart. I'm Linda P. Jones, America's Wealth Mentor, |
| 0:41.7 | Empowering Women and Men Worldwide, Financial Freedom. |
| 0:45.0 | On today's show, I'm going to do a little report on dividend paying companies because many people |
| 0:50.3 | are asking, what companies are paying dividends, what companies are paying dividends what companies are cutting |
| 0:55.7 | dividends and what companies are increasing dividends and specifically |

| 1:10.0 | There are lots of companies that have been increasing their dividends over the past 25 years |
| 1:16.6 | and those companies have been called the dividend aristocrats and they have been holding up beautifully, usually in normal times, but now that we are in economic |
| 1:29.9 | uncertainty, how are some of those stocks going to be impacted? |
| 1:35.0 | And is there a strategy that you should employ now that we are hitting some bumps? |
| 1:41.0 | And there will be definitely some companies that cut their dividends or maybe even |
| 1:46.7 | discontinue their dividends altogether as we've seen already happened with a few companies. The average yield among the |
| 1:55.1 | S&P 500 dividend payers is 2%, which may not sound like a lot but that is |
| 2:01.1 | triple what Treasury bills pay. |
| 2:04.0 | So what's really important right now with looking at companies that pay dividends is you want companies |
| 2:09.2 | that meet the forecasts on earnings and revenue and support the dividend payment because that's |
| 2:16.0 | what it's all about. They have to make enough money to have the cash to pay out |
