Five hundred and sixty million dollars. That's a lot of money -- and it's how much the U.S. Treasury prints on a daily basis. There are three companies that, combined, generate free cash flow on an average day that isn't too far behind that amount. And they use a nice chunk of that cash flow to reward shareholders with attractive dividends.
The three dividend stocks that are practically minting money are Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Together, the three giants generate free cash flow of over $92.5 billion annually, or more than $350 million on average each work day. Here's how they do it -- and whether or not these stocks are smart picks for long-term investors.
