Today’s chart shows the “dividend magnet” trade is good for U.S. cigarette powerhouse Altria (MO).
Over the past few years, we’ve stressed the importance of dividends and high-quality stocks dozens of times in DailyWealth.

Altria is one of the world’s elite dividend-raising stocks. It’s raised its dividend for 45 years in a row.
