Most income-oriented investors are hardly convinced about the safety of their investments in stocks, given the highly volatility in trading. However, the investment risk is substantially reduced in large-cap dividend companies due to their relatively solid and stable financials. Investing in dividend stocks may not make someone rich overnight, but it can help provide a good retirement portfolio. So, for conservative investors looking for safer investments for their retirement, high-yielding large cap dividend stocks are the ideal choice.
Five of my favorite dividend stocks are listed as follows: American Capital Agency (NASDAQ: AGNC), Exelon (NYSE: EXC), Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK), McGraw Hill Financial (NYSE: MHFI) and Mattel (NASDAQ: MAT). High yielding dividend stocks may look attractive, but it is similarly important to check the financials to ensure that your investments are in good hands. Moreover, market capitalization is also among the investment signals that can help ensure that your investment is safe. Although, they are not completely risk-free, the dividends provide a safety cushion against market downturns.
