As markets wobble, buy the stocks that pay you back
CNN
Tuesday's massive stock market meltdown should serve as a reminder to investors that in times of turmoil, it pays to own shares of companies that also pay you.
Dividend paying stocks are in vogue again, even as long-term government bond yields have surged dramatically this year. Traders seem to be craving quality blue chips that offer steady (and often growing) dividends. These can be a more exciting investment than stodgy Treasuries.
Quarterly or annual dividend payments provide good income streams for investors who need cash in the short-term. And for those playing the longer game, dividends can be reinvested to buy even more shares in those same companies.
