Between games of pick-up basketball, one of my favorite players — killer jump shot — sidled over and asked me what he should do with an “extra” $10,000 he’d come into courtesy of a nice bonus. These are always difficult questions to answer. I’m never quite sure what kind of time horizon is involved, nor what the risk profile or tolerance is — and I sure don’t want to be the guy who causes people to lose money.
But if safety and security is what we’re looking for — and that was a ground rule — let’s look at three I’ll present to my sharp-shooting colleague. See what you think: Chevron (CVX) Dividend yield: 3.19%, Lockheed Martin (LMT) Dividend yield: 3.50% and Cisco (CSCO) Dividend Yield: 2.78%.
