Does anybody know about a company that has paid dividends for 448 consecutive months?

Question

I found this ad just now on the Yahoo website and decided to click it. It sounds very much like some kind of scam. They want an email address to send a "free" report to.

Answer 2

Lots of stocks.  Just off the top of my head (these are all 50+ year dividend payers)

Anheuser-Busch (BUD)

Coca-Cola (KO)

Exxon Mobil (XOM)

Pfizer (PFE)

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)

Bristol-Myers-Squibb (BMY)

3M (MMM)

Answer 3

It is a con, do not send them anything, delete that email.

NOW, could a company have paid dividends for 37 years without ever missing, sure it is possible. We have companies in the US older that 37 years that pay dividends, so what?

If you are looking to invest your money with a good company that pays a dividend, there are plenty. The question is do you like the company, will they continue to pay the dividend, and are you diversified into many companies so incase they stop your risk is lowered by having some money in other companies that pay dividends.

Good luck.
