They say that dividend investing is boring, and they are right. Investing isn't so much about doubling one's money in a short period—that's more like “betting.” Sure, many reliable dividend-paying companies are mature businesses, which means they don’t often experience the triple-digit growth of new, exciting startups.
However, that doesn’t mean that dividend investing should only focus on income. Getting above-average returns through dividend stocks is possible—you just have to pick the right ones.
