Reinvesting your dividends is a great way to boost the long-term performance of your stock portfolio, but a history of regular payouts alone does not guarantee a money-making investment. Investors must also look closely at the quality of each company's business and weigh the catalysts that could provide headwinds or tailwinds.
For example, if a high dividend yield is the result of a sagging share price and a struggling operation, management could be forced to cut or eliminate the payout, resulting in an even greater risk of share-price declines. To help reduce your risk of buying the wrong stocks for your income portfolio, we asked three Motley Fool contributors what dividend stocks they favor currently. Here's why they suggested McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), STAG Industrial (NYSE:STAG), and Disney (NYSE:DIS).
