MY EBOOK! http://www.ryanoscribner.com/stock-trading If you are looking to invest in the stock market, here are the best dividend stocks for 2017. When investing in a dividend stock, it is important to consider the dividend yield as well as the stock price since you will be paid in two ways ideally. These three stocks do not have the highest dividends, but they have historically been very good investments as far as stock price and have great potential for 2017. Southwest Airlines (Symbol: LUV) Southwest Airlines has a very good potential to increase its dividends this year. The current dividend yield of this stock is lower than other sectors but they have increased their dividend every year since 2011. The stock has had a great rally over the last 5 years, increasing over 500%. Earnings per share and cash flow have also increased over the last 5 years. Southwest Airlines has great potential for 2017 and they have a lot of reasons to increase their dividend again this year. Southwest currently pays a quarterly dividend with a dividend yield of 0.74%. Nike (Symbol: NKE) Nike has increased their dividend every year since 2009. The stock did decline in 2016 falling roughly 15.8%. The stock has done well so far in 2017 and has increased roughly 8.3% but it is important to note that overall as of February 9th 2017 it is down roughly 21.4% from the high of 2015 on November 27th. Nike has consecutive years of growing revenue, earnings per share and dividends per share. Overall, the stock has increased over 200% in the last 5 years. Over the last 8 years, they have increased their dividends at an average rate of 14.25% per year. Nike currently pays a quarterly dividend with a dividend yield of 1.3%. Cracker Barrel (Symbol: CBRL) Cracker Barrel pays a great dividend and has seen growth over the recent years. As of September 2016, they had 640 restaurant stores in 43 states in the United States. In 2016, the stock increased about 32% overall. Over the last 5 years, the stock has increased over 300%. Earnings per share have increased every single year since 2011. Cracker Barrel currently pays a quarterly dividend with a dividend yield of 2.82%. These are the three dividend stocks I would be interested in for 2017 as a dividend stock investor. While these stocks donβt have the highest dividends, they seem to be relatively stable investments and continue to do well. Many people make the mistake of investing in stocks with high dividends regardless of the stability of the underlying investment. While the dividend yield is higher, the stock price may be falling.

I am a nutrition and fitness crusader and I consider myself to be a life student of personal development. I am also an investor. I went from being an overweight college student to living at 8% body fat. About two years ago when I started weight lifting, I was completely clueless. I never played sports in high school and I had no base level of fitness established. I made many mistakes, but over time I developed an understanding. I want to help others develop the body, spirit and mind they deserve. In making mistakes along the way and learning from scratch, I have a lot of value to bring to the table. I recommend my content to those interested in the accumulation of wealth, fitness and nutrition as well as personal growth and development. Recently, I made my own happiness a priority after living with depression for over a year. I want to share with you exactly what I did to get to a state of perpetual lasting happiness. I have also spent a great deal of time learning about investment and wealth accumulation. While money alone doesn't bring happiness, it allows you to experience many things which do bring happiness. Start the journey. Involve the right mentors and coaches. Learn.
