Yield is tough to find nowadays. Investors saving for retirement can't count on fixed income to provide much of a cash flow, and that makes the never-ending hunt for the best dividend stocks all the more urgent. Clearly, there is no objective list of the "best" dividend stocks in the market, but that doesn't mean there aren't straightforward metrics pointing investors in the right direction.
Surely a great dividend stock must be consistent, and there's no better sign of consistency than a company that's been paying dividends for the last 100 years. Through thick and thin and peace and war, the following 10 stocks have done just that: Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Coca-Cola Co. (KO), Consolidated Edison (ED), 3M Co. (MMM), Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) and Stanley Black & Decker (SWK).
