At the beginning of the year, I pulled together 32 dividend stocks to pick in 2012. They were named the 2012 Best Dividend Stocks in my free eBook. It’s always fun to throw predictions on the table, but I think it’s even more important to follow them throughout the year. This is what I did after the first quarter (you can read my update here).
