But while the broader market has been exceptionally calm in 2017, there are definitely pockets of value forming, particularly in dividend stocks. Many of the dividend stocks that finished 2016 strongly have been taking their lumps in the first quarter. For instance: Signs that OPEC members are already reneging on their pledge to reduce production have sent the price of crude oil lower and roughed up several high-quality energy stocks, and automakers have also taken a particularly harsh beating, as 2017 auto sales look to be weaker than previously expected.

And finally, I’ll leave you with one last dividend dynamo: consumer electronics leader Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL).
