There's been a lot for investors to like about market performance over the last decade, but there's a flip side: In a market that climbs to new heights, equities tend to be more expensive. No one is able to consistently predict what the broader market will do, but it's possible to make adjustments to your holdings that can help you minimize risk.
Stocks that pay regular, healthy dividends have historically tended to outperform those that don't, and can both provide a buffer during periods of volatility and help build a sizable income base for long-term shareholders. With that in mind, here's a look at AT&T (NYSE: T) and IBM (NYSE: IBM), two companies generating strong free cash flow (FCF) and distributing generous payouts.
