Tired of keeping a close eye on financial news and popping in and out of positions in an effort to get the most out of an increasingly volatile market? If so, you’re not alone. There is a solution, however, for investors who’ve become mentally exhausted thanks to a bull market that has now persisted for a stunning nine years — just buy some dividend stocks and stop watching the market every day.

There aren’t any kinds of insurance AmTrust Financial Services Inc (NASDAQ:AFSI) doesn’t offer. In fact, life and health insurance are the only two major insurance markets AmTrust doesn’t dabble in. When investors go on the hunt for dividend stocks within the financial sector, Zurich-based UBS Group AG (USA) (NYSE:UBS) usually isn’t a top-of-mind name. Two Harbors Investment Corp (NYSE:TWO) is anything but a household name. Enter Iron Mountain Incorporated (Delaware) REIT (NYSE:IRM), which as its name implies, offers secure storage of physical files for organizations that are legally required to retain them.

The name Park Hotels & Resorts Inc (NYSE:PK) may not ring a bell, but some of the hotels owned by this REIT will. Last but not least, the 3.7% yield Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE).
