3 Dividend Kings – Week of 2/4

There are only 47 such companies in the US, and perhaps a couple more in the rest of the world. It is not a small achievement to have been able to reward long-term shareholders with a dividend raise for over half a century.

Here are three dividend king stocks for you to consider –

And it’s DOUBLED dividends since 2020. It’s my #1 bet on gold this year.
