Dividend stocks are your path to wealth building. More important, they're the key to maintaining your mental fortitude when the market is in a downturn. If you buy a non-dividend paying stock, you're only ability to profit is when you sell. The problem faced by most investors is that the time between buying and selling is often filled with peril. I'll use the exchange-traded fund index SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) to illustrate. The SPY appreciated over 20% during the last year. On Monday, the index traded at a new all-time high.
Dividend-paying stocks not only treat your portfolio right, they make investing palatable for the risk averse. Want more proof? Take a look at my suggestions a year ago this month for DuPont (DD_), Wells Fargo (WFC_), and General Electric (GE_). The group outperformed the market and shareholders received dividend checks while experiencing lower volatility. Here are four to consider: Microsoft (MSFT), AT&T (T), Cisco (CSCO) and Apple (AAPL).
