Intro

Dividend growth stocks are some of the most dependable and stable investments available. These stocks tend to increase their dividends yearly, providing shareholders with a growing income stream and a long-term capital gains opportunity.

Dividend Aristocrats are the 'jewel' of this group: stocks that have distributed and increased annual dividends for over 25 years. 

Adding options trade to those will increase profits more and increase the edge. You can use the Covered Call strategy to generate two income streams or sell puts under the market price, buy them at a discount if they drop, and collect the interest if they don't.
