What's not to love about dividend stocks? Dividends can generate income streams, and be reinvested to grow your total number of shares, which can power your total capital appreciation over the long term. Once you get past the somewhat higher-than-average dividend-yielders, however, the risk level among dividend stocks generally increases.
That's certainly true in the 5%-plus-yielding territory. However, there will always be some stocks among this group that are less risky than many of their brethren. Two such stocks that are worth buying -- or at least putting on your radar -- that have beaten the market over the last 10 years are Cedar Fair (NYSE:FUN) and Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM).
