Dividend-paying companies are the oasis in the desert of underperforming stocks. They offer solid payouts today, and not simply the promise of gains tomorrow (though they do offer that, too!). In fact, dividend investing is such an attractive alternative, that super-investor Warren Buffett has made it a significant component of his portfolio.
A great way to find outperforming dividend-paying companies is to examine the stocks in the "Dividend Achievers Select Index," an elite group of companies that have raised their dividends annually over at least the past 10 years. The list was created by Mergent and is now overseen by Indxis, which screens eligible stocks for liquidity and investability. The index features about 140 stocks for 2010.
