After a heinous August and a rather inauspicious start to September as triple-digit declines in the Dow set the stage, low-risk investments now are in focus. But investors should not make the mistake of thinking they have to settle for low-risk, low-return investments. There are a host of high-yield stocks out there with big dividends and stable cash flows that have been enjoying significant share appreciation in 2011. These investments offer the best of both worlds — cash-rich blue chips that throw off plump dividends as well as outperform the major indices.
True, some of these blue chips could see momentum wane in the months ahead as successes become harder to duplicate in coming quarters, or shares move into overbought territory. And yes, blue-chip dividend stocks are not immune to market downturns. However, there’s a lot to be said for strong upward momentum in a tough market and a nice quarterly income stream to hedge your bets.
