Best Dividend Stocks List - Sniper - 04-20-2017
To invest in the best dividend stocks I always look for dividend yield, company growth, the management of the company, and idea of the business.
Here is a list of best dividend stocks which fit the above criteria:
McDonald’s Corporation
Kimberly-Clark Corp
Emerson Electric Co.
Leggett & Platt, Inc.
Any more inputs?

Been selling cash secured puts in most of these and it seems to be a nice strategy that most evryone could learn and learn to love.
Sell put 10% below current price for 3 month +/- term, collecting =/.> dividend amount. Stock moves up, sideways or down less than 10% you keep premium and repeat.
Stock falls 10% or more you now own a great dividend payer at a better price, then sell covered calls against it while collecting dividends until stock is called away.
The trade off is one does not participate in much of the stocks' price appreciation. A good trade off as one's capital risk doesn't come in until the stock already dropped 10%.
Example from yesterday, you like MCD for 2.83% yield. Sell 120 put for $1.40, expires 15 SEP 17. Collect nearly 1.5 times the quarterly dividend TODAY. Let market do it's thing. Goes up, just wait and repeat. Goes down to $120.50 just wait and repeat. Goes down below 120 you get assigned at 120 less the 1.40 collected. You are protected to 118.60. If you like MCD @132, you're lovin' it @ 118.60 (3.2% yield)
If you bought @ 132 and now it's 119 you took a 10% capital haircut for a .94 dividend payment.
Just something to think about in your investing perspective.
Good luck to all.

How are you measuring the management of the company? Just wondering because it's a qualitative component, as opposed to a quantitative component like dividend yield. For most company managements, I like some things but dislike some things, too. Just food for thought...or discussion.
