Summary Dividend stocks are great in general, but not all dividend stocks are good buys. I discuss two overrated blue chip dividend stocks. I discuss two underrated blue chip dividend stocks. ogichobanov I love investing in dividend stocks because they are companies that are truly showing me the money.

Additionally, companies that pay out regular dividends and maintain a commitment to that dividend are generally much more disciplined in allocating capital than those that do not. This is because if they know they are going to have to pay out a certain percentage—especially if it's a meaningful percentage—of their earnings eac
