2 Great Dividend Stocks You Can Buy for Less Than $50

Investors with only a few dollars to put into play might be put off by the seemingly high prices of some top stocks. Amazon is still priced at more than $130 a share after the company's 20-for-1 stock split, while Alphabet still goes for $115 after splitting its stock by a similar ratio.

Many brokers will allow you to buy fractional shares, enabling those with even limited budgets to still own a piece of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway -- currently trading at more than $43,000 a share or $289 for its "baby" shares. But a good alternative is for investors to focus on excellent companies more in line with the money they have available.

That doesn't mean buying penny stocks, which will more than likely cause you to lose your entire stake. Instead, the following stocks are priced under $50 each and offer great long-term appreciation potential.
