Oh... sorry... did not catch that part about for teens... by all means, I'd prioritize the strong divvy growers (as long as yield is above S&P ave. (currently 1.8%-2.2% depending on freshness of data), so I'd look for about 2.5ish% or better personally... also would determine appropriate "chowder number" (current yield + 3-5 yr. compounded divvy growth), which for me in accumulation phase I used 10-12 chowder number for non utes, 8-10 for regulated utes and I preferred at least 5% annualized 3-5 year average divvy hikes regardless of sector... note: those numbers worked great for me, but not written in stone, esp. for teens who have decades of "time in market"... so only other consideration would be companies with good divvy payout coverage and strong biz that will likely still be around in 30 years or more... My one regret the last 10-15 years was not starting to do above when I was just starting out instead of waiting as long as I did to ditch 100% swing trading in favor of some "flavor" of DGI... I'd have built a lot more investible wealth and/or been able to retire a lot earlier... I'm not whining though -- I did ok as a swing trader and saw the light in time to at least catch this amazing bull while using DGI to accumulate more and more and more income from my IRAs... it is amazing to me how fast that income rose once the drip compounding really kicked in... Good luck, you will find a LOT of good discussion across the spectrum of divvy growth/income investing here and a signal-to-noise ratio unsurpassed anywhere else on SI or any site.
