When a retailer has a sale, it's often celebrated with banners, signs, and commercials telling customers not to miss out on the spectacular deals. But when stocks go on sale, fear and uncertainty tend to rule the day, and retail investors often miss the best opportunities. The big issue is trying to time the bottom of a market dip. It's nearly impossible and you're better off not trying. One strategy that does seem to help is incremental purchasing, also called dollar-cost averaging. This is generally a winning strategy for long-term investors because the market can make big swings in price over the short term, but it generally goes up in the long term.
There were significant price drops for all the main indices in 2018 and 2020, but the market rallied back relatively quickly in each case. Will it be the same quick rally this time? It's too early to tell; however, long-term investors have the advantage. Remember, time in the market is better than timing the market. And a steady stream of dividends will help weather market storms as they blow through. With that in mind, here are three dividend-paying stocks worth considering that are available right now at sale prices: Starbucks (SBUX), Microsoft (MSFT) and Vici Properties (VICI).
