Dividends continue to offer investors some security in this volatile trading environment. With the economy staring down the barrel of a potential double-dip recession, investors should gravitate toward stocks of companies that return cash to shareholders.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is currently down around 2.2 per cent. Meanwhile, there are nearly 200 stocks, or 40 per cent of the S&P 500, that have a dividend yield north of that benchmark figure. In addition, many of these companies are well capitalized and have the potential to grow their payouts in the coming quarters.
