If you’re a grandparent — or if you aspire to be one, at some point — one of the best gifts you can give your youngest family members is a firm financial foundation. While part of that could be an inheritance, it’s also important to teach the little tykes how grandma and grandpa managed to do so well in their golden years. So, don’t be afraid to introduce them to investing and the magic of dividend stocks. Dividend stocks are great long-term investments because in addition to your quarterly return, you also get a quarterly (or sometimes, a monthly) dividend. And when you turn around and reinvest those dividends directly into your stock, your position grows consistently over time — and so does your investment portfolio. Knowing the best dividend stocks to buy and hold , coupled with understanding the magic of compounding interest, is the best way for your grandkids to build their portfolios and start on the path to a comfortable life and retirement. What better gift can one give? Here are some highly rated dividend stocks to buy for your grandkids and start their financial journey on the right foot.

Three subsidiaries of a Texas-based petrochemical company on Thursday settled allegations that they violated federal and state pollution control laws.
WESTLAKE, La. (AP) — Three subsidiaries of a Texas-based petrochemical company on Thursday settled allegations that they violated federal and state pollution control laws. The U.S. Department of Justice, in a news release, said Westlake Chemical Corporation agreed to make upgrades and perform compliance measures estimated to cost $110 million to resolve the complaint involving two facilities in Lake Charles, Louisiana and one in Calvert City, Kentucky. The companies also will pay a $1 million civil penalty. According to the complaint, the companies failed to properly operate and monitor their industrial flares, which resulted in excess emissions at the three facilities, the department said. The settlement will eliminate thousands of tons of air pollution from flares, devices used to combust waste gases that would otherwise be released into the air, it said. “The settlement’s significant reductions of hazardous and other air pollutants and greenhouse gases will serve to reduce exposure in the vulnerable nearby communities with environmental justice concerns," said Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim of the Justice Department''s Environment and Natural Resources Division.
