Dividend stocks can make for wonderful investments. But like any other stock, it's important to have a good understanding of the underlying business you're buying into. After all, even the best company can see its stock price move up and down quickly, when the market gets riled up. But if you have a solid understanding of the business itself, that can go a long way toward helping you make the best investment choices, as well as avoiding stocks you may have to watch more closely than you really want to.
If you're looking for solid, dependable dividends from companies you don't need to keep a constant eye on, we have identified three of the best. Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (NYSE:BIP), Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) are three very different businesses with almost no overlap, but all three are the kinds of investments you can make and not feel like you need to check on first thing in the morning.

I agree with JNJ. That's a long term rock star performer that should be bought on any dips or near term mishaps.
I like JNJ and TGT. Currently own TGT for long term. Would like to buy JNJ if I see a dip and there is free capital available.
