But I am learning that some "events" that impact an industry, a sector, and/or business could very well cause the price of one of these sought after jewels to decline in price.. even if only briefly. That's the time to pounce! Be well Ben... (By the way... if you run across one of these babies... let me know... and I'll do the same ... o.k.?) @ Ben: Makes sense not to pay more than the business is worth when trying to fing stocks that pay a consistent dividend.

That’s the time to pounce!

Be well Ben…

You and me both. The good news is that there are companies out there that fit that criteria, but the bad news is finding them and not having them be overly expensive when you are starting out. If you are just getting started I would set up a portfolio that is diversified and a little aggressive if you are young (not too aggressive though!) and set up a an automatic buying schedule and then forget about it for a while. Come back and look and see how you did and then readjust. There is a lot that goes into it: huge libraries of books for analysis and whole degrees in universities for learning how. Baby steps! @ Alisa: Long history of paying increasing dividends on a consistent basis? You and me both.

Although dividends paid to a small investor like me is nothing to write home about. But in time these "small" dividends could increase in size to be a substantial amount of spending change.
