Investors in it for the long haul can rest a little easier by making sure they have at least some exposure to rock-solid, income-producing blue chips. While they might not necessarily soar when the market goes bananas, they’re also more apt to maintain their value when the crap hits the fan. Best of all, through all that turbulence, they make sure you get yours — in the form of steady, substantial dividend payments.
If you’re looking for this kind of security, a great place to start is the veritable who’s who of American blue chips, the Dow Jones, and its top 10 dividend payers. Here’s a look at each: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), General Electric (NYSE:GE), Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (NYSE:DD), Merck (NYSE:MRK), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T’s (NYSE:T).
