Every New York stock exchange trading day I’m posting a daily dividend stock or fund review. I’ll share the three chief qualities of just one equity or fund that could be selected for a dividend stock portfolio I’ve named the Safari to Sweet Success.
This week my Safari portfolio is adding a company from the consumer defensive sector, which includes thirteen industries all related to those conveniently packaged goods we’ve just gotta have. The industries are: beverages, brewed, soft, or distilled;confectioners; discount stores; education & training; farm products; food distribution; grocery stores; household & personal products; packaged goods; pharmaceutical retailers; tobacco.
