In fact, I’m not even going to promise you that putting your faith, trust, and money into a well-diversified collection of safe and sound dividend stocks is a guaranteed way to be rich and ready for retirement. Now, I’ll be the first to admit – as I always do – that there is no such thing as a definitive yes when it comes to any one individual stock.
