As the stock market continues to get more and more edgy, investors are starting to look for shelter from the coming storm. Although dividend stocks become even more attractive as stock prices fall, you need to understand going in that even stocks that make excellent long-term investments won't necessarily keep you from suffering short-term losses.
It's not a foregone conclusion that all dividend stocks will perform well under all market circumstances. As with any stock, you have to be willing to endure some short-term volatility with dividend stocks in order to get a good long-term payoff. Fortunately, though, even through the worst of times, you'll at least be getting a nice check every few months to boost your confidence.
