I'll give you three stocks that give good dividends and have a lot of room to grow too. Altria Group (MO), Bank of America (BAC) and AT&T (T). Investments should not be based on dividends only and the three stocks i mentioned are known as Income and Growth Giants.

Just what do you mean by "best dividends" Highest? then they may not be able to maintain them. Rising each year for many years? Go to financial web sites and do a search function on rising dividends. www.etfconnect.com lists the holding of ETF dividend index funds like DUY, PEY. Check the web site of companies that look good to you, read the Presidents (CEO's) letter. If the company has raised their dividend for XX years, he (or she) is sure to brag about it. Some of the ones I have found are: symbol of company (number of years of increasing dividends) ADM (31), ATO (19), CL (43), DOV (49), EMR (49), GE (31), ITW (43), JNJ (44), JCI (31), KMB (34), PH (50), PPG (35), PG (50), RF (36), MMM (48), VVC (47) etc. This is not a recommendation, do you own research.

Any Blue chip or Large Cap company pays dividends. It takes researching the company's performance, financial status, an other fundamental studies. Buying a stock because they have a high P/E Ratio is insane!

If you have $7050.00 you can buy ONE SHARE of this local bank - it has paid quarterly dividends for over 100 years - now that is a record I think makes this a very safe investment.
