"The strongest of all warriors are these two - Time and Patience." - Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace - When investing for income over the long term, one important characteristic to search for is dividend growth. To strike a balance of yield and safety, income investors generally diversify among several stocks to create a well-balanced equity asset allocation.

A well-balanced, diversified income portfolio should have equity exposure to safe, proven dividend players with room for growth. While there is no sure thing in the market, using the above metrics gives the investor two excellent options to protect capital while offering exposure to both dividend growth and capital appreciation. Two Blue-Chip Options: BlackRock, Inc. (BLK) and Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM).
