The rules of dividend investing are changing. This is the first time I can recall, for example, when you can earn more in dividends for holding the entire S&P 500 than you can earn not only on a 10-year note, but also on a long-term 30-year government bond. But with the promise of higher returns comes added risk. I’m concerned that too many well-meaning U.S. investors may be disappointed as a result of the shifting market environment.
But please don’t misunderstand—if you choose your dividend stocks correctly, you can set yourself up very nicely. Both as your invested capital appreciates over the years—and as the quarterly dividend grows. This kind of income is simply not possible with bonds. So today I’d like to share with you some of my top-rated dividend payers. All are household names—think General Mills (GIS) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). All yield over 3%—a very generous yield relative to what you can earn on a 10-year Treasury or corporate bond.
