Well, we’ve made it to mid-December, and there’s no signs that the fiscal cliff will be averted. While a deal still could be in the offing, investors and companies alike are trying to come to terms with the potentially onerous tax burden on dividends they might be forced to face.
Those looking for a low-risk way to ride out the cliff might want to consider these top 10 Dow dividend stocks — all of which yield well over 3%: Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD), Pfizer (PFE), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ), Merck (NYSE:MRK), E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (NYSE:DD), Intel (INTC), Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T (T).
