Between May and October of 2011, the Dow was submerged in a 2,400 point market rout. Overwhelmed by European fireworks and with questions arising as to the United States' own financial footing, the summer sell off became nothing short of gruesome.

With that said, taking advantage of the high dividend payers may prove the best move for your portfolio in the coming months. For one, stocks with escalated dividend rates tend to hold up better in times of market uncertainty and it would be pure common sense to take advantage of the last year of minimal tax rates. If the security of these big payers is intriguing, below are three names to take a look at: Strayer Education (STRA), Nucor (NUE) and Wal-Mart (WMT).
