This year’s rollercoaster action makes it tough to gauge what will happen next. With the S&P 500 down nearly 8% and gas prices and unemployment hitting decade lows, it’s also a market where value-hunting income investors want to have at least some exposure. After all, the economy was strong enough to earn a small interest rate hike at the end of last year.
To enter this market with minimum risk, you need cheap stocks (from a valuation standpoint) that pay you, rather than the other way around. Yes, I’m talking about dividend stocks: General Motors (GM), Seagate Technology (STX), Merck (MRK), ConocoPhillips (COP) and Blackstone (BX).
