For the coming year, I think the best dividend stocks will be:
The Coca-Cola Co , which has been increasing its dividend for the last 54 years.
Procter & Gamble Co, which has been doing the same for the past 59 years.
With these stocks I think my portfolio is quite good.
KMI is why people shouldn't be overly reliant on dividends and their yields. Kinder Morgan made an excellent long term business decision, but to do so they had to lower their current dividend payout. I started stacking up on KMI when that happened as it is putting itself in an excellent position long term.
I beg to differ. IMHO, assigning a value to a stock, building in a margin of safety, buying it when it's undervalued and holding it while collecting dividends until it's fully valued or overvalued, all while ignoring general market trends is the ONLY way to get any kind of certainty out of the stock market. Refer to my favorite quote below, which I first read years ago and find to be just as true today:
"Bargains are the holy grail of the true stockpicker. The fact that 10-30 percent of our net worth is lost in a market sell-off is of little consequence. We see the latest correction not as a disaster but as an opportunity to acquire more shares at low prices. This is how great fortunes are made over time."
-Peter Lynch
Yea, I like that. I guess you could say that when Mark Cuban was predicting a crash if Trump won I hoped he was right even though I'm invested.

Haha, keep telling yourself that. It WAS a fundamentally sound business, up until a few days ago. In the short term, there's going to be a big drop in revenue due to people canceling reservations. It will be a long time before people forget about this and revenues recover to pre-crash levels, but if you don't need the money for at least 4-5 years, go for it.
I had BP and IBM. But they both went up, maybe too pricey now, IBM especially.
