I used to worry about money as I got older.
"Will Social Security be enough for a comfortable retirement?"
"What if I out-live my nest egg?"
Those were things I used to think about all the time. But that all changed earlier this month.
Suddenly, the fog had been lifted. Within a few hours, my outlook had completely changed.
You see, I had just seen a study on dividend stock investing conducted by Ned Davis Research.
The research firm found that from 1972 to 2006, S&P stocks that did not pay a dividend averaged 4.1% annual returns, but S&P stocks that did pay a dividend averaged 10.1% annually.
That's six percentage points per year difference. That's huge! In fact, here's what that can mean in dollars and cents...
A $10,000 investment in dividend stocks in 1926 would have been worth over $24 million by 2004, if the dividends were reinvested.
You don't have to be a math whiz to realize many investors are likely passing up a lot of easy profits that the market is making available to them through dividend stocks.
That's why I'd like to hurry up amd inform you about an important event you're about to miss.
You see, renowned investors David and Tom Gardner (whose investing newsletter was reported in The Wall Street Journal as one of the best performing in the U.S.*) just released a brand-new report called "6 Core Dividend Stocks for 2016."
And I don't know about you, but I always pay attention when some of the best investors in the world give me stock advice.
But please note: As of right now, you could miss out because you may not be on the list to receive this special report.
You see, David and Tom Gardner are releasing copies of this exclusive report to new members of their service, Motley Fool Stock Advisor.
Stock Advisor currently recommends 67 different dividend-paying stocks to their members, but after exhaustive research and debate, the team whittled it down to the best 6 dividend stocks to buy today.
But before you dive into this report, consider David and Tom's track record:
After 14 years of sending members 2 stock recommendations each month, David and Tom's average pick in Motley Fool Stock Advisor is up 174%, while the S&P 500 during the same period is up just 55%.
In other words, David and Tom's average pick has tripled the stock market's return for more than a decade. That track record is remarkable in a world where most fund managers actually lose to the market.
Now imagine the long-term returns you could realize by combining Tom and David's individual stock expertise with the historical research showing the power of dividend stocks!
