Why Is Everyone Talking About Dividend Stocks Right Now?
The last few years have been a confusing time in the stock market. 2020 was chock-full of discussions on meme stocks, cryptocurrency, and other high-risk assets. 2021 was a rip-roaring rally for growth stocks of all sizes.

Here's why everyone is talking about dividend stocks, why quality high-yield dividend stocks are rare, and why integrating dividend stocks into a diversified portfolio is a good idea regardless of the market cycle.
