Most retirement investors are focused on dividend stocks and interest for reliable income to carry them through retirement. It’s a time-tested strategy that, in combination with a long-term diversified portfolio, provides a lot of comfort. The dividend stocks and bonds strategy, however, has been more difficult to execute lately because bond yields cratered and inflation has remained steady (some say inflation is even higher than actually reported). This has resulted in conservative investors pushing further out into the risk curve.
That means they are investing in a higher concentration of dividend stocks than they might normally feel good about if bond yields were at their traditional levels. So they need dividend stocks that are safe, but also offer generous yields. There aren’t many dividend stocks that fit the bill, but there are enough to mine for consideration: AT&T (T), HCP, Inc. (HCP) and R.R. Donnelley & Sons (RRD).
