It’s been so long since the market experienced any kind of volatility — to say nothing of a real pullback — it was easy to forget how reassuring it can be to hold blue chip dividend stocks with dependable payouts. Like battleships in bad weather, these dividend stocks don’t move much in high waves, and even if they come under pressure, they’re never going to sink.
The best thing about blue chip dependable dividend stocks is that they encourage investors to ignore the day-to-day craziness of the market and focus on the long term. Here’s a list of five blue chip dependable dividend stocks that will help buoy your portfolio through the latest market storm. They’ve paid dividends for forever and currently offer dividend yields of at least 3.5%: AT&T (T), HCP (HCP), Consolidated Edison (ED), McDonald’s (MCD) and Procter & Gamble (PG).
