This week I am going to look for stocks with big dividends, that you can safely assume the companies will not only continue to pay, but most likely increase each year. My idea of big dividends is not 5% or greater, but I will be looking for stocks with dividends around 2.5% or more. I want stocks with dividends at or above this range, with long histories of annual dividend increases, but I also want to make sure the stock itself has upside potential.
After all… dividends are nice, but if the stock loses more in value than the dividends you are pulling out of the company, then you are better off looking elsewhere. The five stocks in this article are all solid dividend plays on companies with excellent long-term potential: The Clorox Co. (CLX), Target (TGT), Exxon Mobil (XOM), HCP Inc. (HCP) and 3M Company (MMM).
