Not every stock that pays a dividend is a "great dividend stock." The best dividend stocks are from many different industries, but share some common traits. Not only do they need to pay a relatively high dividend yield, but the payout should be sustainable and should also have room to grow steadily over time.
With that in mind, here are three of my favorite dividend stocks in the market, all of which I would feel comfortable buying and holding for years to come.
