Rocky markets can take a toll on even the most stalwart investor, but selling dividend-paying companies into weakness isn't your best bet. In the past, dividend investors have been much better served by taking a long view that allows dividends to offset Wall Street's whims and whispers.
That could be particularly true for these three dividend-paying health-care companies: GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK), Merck (NYSE: MRK), and Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX). They not only pay healthy dividend yields that can blunt the pain of a sell-off, but they're also strong performers during the coming quarter. That suggests investors may not want to sell them, and investors who have been considering them may want to step in and buy them.
