Dave:                                    00:37                     All
right folks, well welcome to Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode
120 tonight Andrew and I are going to talk about about the dividend aristocrat
list, and there were four new companies added in 2019, and we wanted to take a
little brief overview of those four companies to kind of fill you in on some of
the companies are added to that list. So for those of you who are not familiar
with what a dividend aristocrat is, a dividend aristocrat is a company that has
been paying a growing very key growing dividend for 25 years is listed in the s

are 57 companies I believe, that are considered dividend aristocrats right now.
And there are also dividend kings, but where those are 50 years or more. But
tonight we’re going to talk about dividend aristocrats. These are the more
popular ones, and these include companies like Disney, Hormel, things of that

going to be great investments. They could be overvalued at a particular time.

would be worthy of putting on a waitlist or a watch list to keep your eye on in
case the market takes a downturn, and you would have an opportunity to buy into
some of these when they would be cheaper for you. So without any further ado,
why don’t we go ahead and chat. Andrew, why don’t you talk about one of the
first companies?
