Realty Income: Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Most investors identify themselves as being either growth-minded or income-oriented. A handful of folks might even consider themselves to be dividend-growth seekers, meaning they're looking for dividends that reliably grow as time marches on. And to be fair, most investments fit neatly into one of these three categories -- often at the exclusion of the other two.
There are a handful of stocks, however, that offer a compelling blend of all three attributes that would be at home in nearly anyone's portfolio. One of them is Realty Income (NYSE: O), which not only provides reliable -- and growing -- dividend income, but the long-term capital appreciation most investors would like as well.
Never heard of it? Don't sweat it. Plenty of investors haven't. That's because it's not a conventional company.
