Dividend-paying shares have been a hot sell for quite a while. So hot, in fact, that at least one analyst is wondering whether the “dividend trade” has gone too far, too fast.
Investors often barrel into dividend-paying stocks when times are rough and volatility is high. The second half of 2011 was a great example. Europe’s debt crisis and global economic worries rocked financial markets. Yet many have touted dividend-paying shares, especially since these stocks tend to fall less than others when times are tough.
