There are many different styles and avenues when crafting a portfolio. From simple growth at reasonable price (GARP) strategies and focusing on “value” to more complicated fare, each style’s fans will argue that their preferred method is superior. The reality is that each style has good and bad years.

And the environment for using them to your advantage has never been better. Now is the best time to own dividend stocks.
