Stock Buy - VTR (20 shares, $60 dividend income)

Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) with its properties mainly in the senior healthcare industry located throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

As our life expectancy increases, the demand from the senior healthcare industry will follow accordingly and I believe Ventas is well positioned to thrive long term.

This purchase will add $60 annual dividend income to my dividend stock portfolio
