3 Dividend Stocks You Can Safely Hold for Decades
Why should you care about dividends? Well, you shouldn't necessarily. There are many different investment styles, and dividends aren't on everyone's list. But many investors look to dividends for income, and the higher the yield, the better. This is especially true for retirement accounts, as dividends can add up and provide a real source of income for people who aren't working.
