International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), Intel Corporation (INTC): Dividends Are Great… But ‘Tax-Free’ Dividends Are Better

But as a general rule, if you invest in companies with strong buyback programs, your shares are likely to increase over time as your stake in the business grows — even if the company’s actual business doesn’t grow a cent.

P.S. —  Many companies that have a strong history of buying back stock could also be called “Forever Stocks.” If you’re not familiar with “Forever Stocks,” the concept is simple… These are stocks you can buy, hold (practically) forever and watch as your stake in the company increases due to buybacks. And with dividends and capital appreciation, you’ll handily outpace the market over time. In fact, stocks on our “10 Best Stocks to Hold Forever” list have returned up to 57%… 92%… even 180%.
