Dividend stocks are an investor's security blanket during periods of market instability, relieving some pressure to make every stock picked a rock-solid growth story for years to come. Instead, dividend stocks offer shareholders a reliable revenue stream that can help make rocky times feel, well, not quite so rocky.
The following three widely held companies are examples of high-dividend stocks with shaky futures that are better left untouched: SuperValu (5.2% Yield), AstraZeneca (6.2% Yield) and RadioShack (6.7% Yield). Meanwhile, there are companies with exceedingly low payout ratios that have the means to give investors a much-deserved dividend hike.
