Rock-Solid Dividend Payers

There are some dividend aristocrats which have not only maintained but increased their dividends for over half a century. Having survived every recession since 1962, they can be expected to survive the next one, and indeed to continue increasing their dividend. For investors, that's the true sign of a recession-proof stock. As a result, these types of stocks represent the ultimate safe haven for your money. Their share price and even earnings may decline, but their dividends should continue to increase.

They include: Procter and Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG), Northwest Natural Gas (NYSE: NWN), Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR) and Cincinnati Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: CINF). Here's the best part: with those four you even get the diversification of four different sectors along with the ultimate dividend-producing, sleep-at-night investments. So you see sometimes, investing can be easy---even in the face of a recession.
