    5 Dividends Set To Grow For The Next 20 Years

    This aging bull market in U.S. stocks turned seven last month. It’s a bit expensive and past its prime for my liking. But another “niche bull run” is kicking off right now. And no matter what happens with the broader market, these issues – and their dividends – will roll higher for decades.

    There are 77 million Baby Boomers that make up 28% of the U.S. population. Any companies that make products they buy are usually doing great. This massive generation made baby products makers rich in the 1950s, and homebuilders rich in the 1990s and 2000s.

    Now, they’re transitioning their spending again. There are 10,000 boomers hitting retirement age every day. Over the past two years, more than 3 million each year have turned 65. This wave of new retirees will continue to grow every day, every year, for the next couple of decades (at least).

    10 Mid-Size Stocks For Large-Size Gains

    Small and mid-sized companies are often overlooked by many or even most investors.
