Dividend stocks are the cornerstone of many well-run retirement portfolios -- that's a fact. The reason is that dividends act as a beacon to investors, inviting them to take a deeper look into a company whose business model is so sound it can pay out a percentage of its annual profits to its investors on a regular basis. Further, dividends can provide a downside hedge in volatile and bear markets. Investors in dividend stocks tend to be oriented more toward the long term, which usually makes for less day trading and less volatility. Lastly, dividends can be reinvested, giving buyers a chance to compound their gains over the long run. These payouts can mean the difference between simply retiring and living out your dream retirement.
With that in mind, let's have a look at three cheap dividend stocks you should consider buying right now. General Electric (NYSE: GE) - When I think of cheap dividend stocks that are going to give income investors the ability to sleep well at night, one that continues to wiggles its way onto my personal radar is General Electric. Xerox (NYSE: XRX) - like GE with its transition toward the industrial sector, Xerox's transition toward a service-oriented business and away from static hardware is beginning to take shape. Umpqua Holdings (NASDAQ: UMPQ) - Like Xerox, Umpqua's fourth-quarter earnings results left a lot to be desired with investors. There were plenty of other aspects to like about Umpqua's Q4 report. For starters, the bread and butter opportunities of growth for banks -- deposits and loans -- both grew for Umpqua.
