When the markets get volatile, it’s good to stop looking at the fast moving waters in the middle of river and find the relative security of the shoreline. That’s where income and total return stocks dwell. And that’s where these seven A-rated dividend stocks shine. Knowing you have a rock-solid return on a company that can endure the market’s and economy’s gyrations is important for piece of mind. The other nice thing is, these companies usually have been overlooked in the heady activity of the broad stock market.
Key to picking solid dividend stocks is making sure the companies they represent are prepared for the global and domestic economy that is developing in 2016. For example, are they structured well enough to deal with the strong dollar’s pressure on international earnings, or have they shifted their growth strategy in particular sectors to gain more than they lose abroad? These seven companies answer “yes” to these questions: General Electric Company (GE), McDonald’s Corporation (MCD), Reynolds American, Inc. (RAI), Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT), Valero Energy Corporation (VLO), CVR Refining LP (CVRR) and Public Storage (PSA).
