As the market volatility continues, this is as good a time as any to invest in high quality businesses selling at a quality price. One of the best indicators is a company that has been paying a consistent dividend for many years through every business cycle as that can assure us it will keep paying us a nice income many years into the future. Moreover, when we can buy them cheap like when our favorite stores have those clearance sales, why should it be any different than with our favorite stocks?
The four companies left with the coveted AAA rating - Automatic Data Processing, (ADP) Exxon Mobil (XOM), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Microsoft (MSFT) - average a fantastic yield of 2.9%, while the S&P 500 (SPY) as a whole only yields about 2.2%.
