Small cap stocks with healthy dividend yields such as Astoria Financial (NYSE: AF), DCT Industrial Trust (NYSE: DCT), Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & CO (NYSE: KKR), KKR Financial Holdings (NYSE: KFN) and Supervalu Inc (NYSE: SVU) offer the best "safe haven" assets for investors in today's market.

Actually, these stocks have offered the best investments for the last decade, if not the last century according to one report. Over the period of the last 10 years, the stock exchanges have been flat. As a result, according to John Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Funds in his book "Enough", about 40% of the total return has come from the dividend income stream of an equity over that span. BlackRock, the mammoth money manager, claims in a study that over the past 100 years, dividends were responsible for 90% of US stock returns.
