Dividend Stocks for Cautious Investors

The uneven, uncertain U.S. economy, the nation's 13.3 million job shortage, and lingering concern about Europe's government debt have created the proverbial question mark regarding the U.S. and European recoveries. What's one way to cautiously commit new money to equities? Consider stocks that also offer modest safety via paying a decent dividend, and here are three.

If you're looking for a low-risk dividend play, BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (BPT), may be for you. The trust distributes royalties on 16.4% of the first 90,000 barrels per day (bpd) of average daily production per quarter from BP's share of the Prudhoe Bay oil field. BPT's current annual dividend is $9.40 per share, good for an impressive 8.6% yield at the current trust price.
