Hi, My name is Aaron and I‘m with Dividend Stocks Research, and today
were reviewing our recently published article…

Need to play it safe?
A dividend stock diversification plan is nothing more than a simple way
to protect your portfolio.
The common sense balance gives you safety and performance. And it
takes the edge off volatility. It softens the wild swings.
![Page 6: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The extremes of the market’s highs and lows are balanced with
consistency.How does a dividend stock
diversification plan work? Easy.
First, round up some suspects.

How To Find The Best Dividend Stocks
![Page 8: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
To find the best dividend stocks, check out my article The Best High
Dividend Stocks For 2015.
Put together a list of stocks you like. Make the list longer than you need. Some of these stocks won’t make
the cut for your dividend stock diversification plan.
![Page 9: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This doesn’t mean they’re not good stocks. They just don’t fit your plan.Once you’ve got your list, there are
two things about each dividend stock you’ll want to identify.
![Page 10: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
One is the yield. The other is the stock’s business sector.
You want to make sure you…

Build Your Dividend Diversification Plan On
Different Sectors
![Page 12: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Balance sectors and you’ll always be invested in an industry that’s doing
well.
Avoid the trap of being too heavy in one industry. When your energy
stocks are on the skids, healthcare stocks could be flying high.
![Page 13: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This blend of different business sectors can help protect you from
the worst market downturns.
You’ll also be ready to capture the upside when an industry gets on a
roll.
![Page 14: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Let’s say one of those influential analysts on CNBC declares he’s
suddenly fallen in love with personal product stocks. You know the story… everybody rushes in.
![Page 15: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But you’re already there. You’ve already grabbed the uptick.
Here’s another reason why you want different industry sectors.
![Page 16: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Times change. Not long ago, investors focused on utilities for
their dividend stocks.
On today’s lineup of S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, you’ll see the
shift.
![Page 17: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Here are five industries where more than one Aristocrat stock has paid
growing dividends for more than 25 years:
Property & Casualty InsuranceMedical Instruments & Supplies
Diversified MachineryPersonal Products
Specialty Chemicals
![Page 18: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What if the specialty chemicals business runs into trouble? You’re covered, because your insurance stocks could pick up the slack.
And there’s a second kind of balance to build in…
![Page 19: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Build Your Dividend Diversification Plan On
Different Yields
![Page 20: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Don’t chase yield. It never seems to work out. It’s a fool’s game, like
chasing last quarter’s top performing mutual fund.
Today’s high yield dividend stocks can easily turn into tomorrow’s
dividend deadbeats.
![Page 21: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
To find out how to steer clear of these high yield heartbreaks, read
my article, High Yield Dividend Stock Disaster.
![Page 22: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Build your dividend diversification plan on a combination of yields. The longer your investment horizon and the higher your thirst for risk, the
more high yield stocks you can sprinkle in.
![Page 23: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Take a pass on any yield above 10%. Those kinds of high-flying yields
have a way of falling back to earth, no matter how appealing the stock
seems to be.
It’s a risk you don’t need to take, because over time, the lower yield that steadily grows will take good
care of you.
![Page 24: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Want an example? Here’s a company most people have never heard of.
Genuine Parts Company (GPC) has been paying a growing dividend
since 1957.
![Page 25: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
It was slaughtered in the 2008 bloodbath. The stock price was cut
in half.
But it kept on paying a dividend. And folks who reinvested those
dividends and bought more shares of Genuine Parts when the stock was
down below $30 scooped up a bargain.
![Page 26: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Look at how Genuine Parts has been doing since it got sliced up in 2008.
![Page 27: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
It’s more than quadrupled.
But here’s the thing.
After the 2008-2009 slaughter, Genuine Parts kept paying the yield.
It didn’t miss a beat.
![Page 29: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
See the chart for 2009? How the stock tanked in the first quarter? Well, during those dark days the
dividend went up.
And it kept going up.
![Page 30: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Over the long haul, your diversified dividend stocks will bounce up and down. Some of them might go on a
tear like Genuine Parts.
![Page 31: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
But some won’t. And that’s OK…
If they keep paying dividends.
This is why you need a dividend stock diversification plan. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it does need to
give you some balance. Balance between industry sector and yield.
![Page 32: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

When the market tanked between January 2008 and February 2009, diversified portfolios were down
35.0% and all stock portfolios were down 49.7%.
![Page 34: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Then, when the market took off again between March 2009 and
February 2014, diversified portfolios were up 99.7% and all stock portfolios were up 162.3%.
![Page 35: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Now here’s where it gets interesting. We’ll combine the bad times and the good times, and see how a diversified portfolio stacked
up against an all-stock portfolio between
January 2008 and February 2014.
![Page 36: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The all-stock portfolio performed best, but not by much… a total
return of 31.8% compared to 29.9% for the diversified portfolio.
![Page 37: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Next Step For Your Dividend Diversification Plan

Round up the usual suspects.
Get rid of stocks with a 10%+ dividend.
Get rid of the stocks with a dividend payout ratio that’s up over 50%.
![Page 39: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Shake down the rest. Group them into different categories by yield and
industry.Resist the temptation to chase yield.
And you’re in business.
![Page 40: Build Your Own Dividend Stock Diversification Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032617/55b1d549bb61eb76368b484f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
You’ve put together a dividend diversification plan that’s going to
give you extra protection from volatile markets, and the best shot
at capturing solid returns.
