Dave:                                    00:37                     All
right folks, well welcome to Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode
120 tonight Andrew and I are going to talk about about the dividend aristocrat
list, and there were four new companies added in 2019, and we wanted to take a
little brief overview of those four companies to kind of fill you in on some of
the companies are added to that list. So for those of you who are not familiar
with what a dividend aristocrat is, a dividend aristocrat is a company that has

case the market takes a downturn, and you would have an opportunity to buy into
some of these when they would be cheaper for you. So without any further ado,
why don’t we go ahead and chat. Andrew, why don’t you talk about one of the
first companies?
