Dividend stocks are a perennial favorite investment sector, even if they do have a reputation as the 'safe and boring' choice. They offer investors a solid set of advantages, most importantly a reliable cash flow with no strings attached.
The cash flow is important, because a sound, reliable income stream is always welcome. For investors, it's the key attraction in dividend stocks. The dividend payment is a regular stream of cash that adds to the asset's total return and can be used in any way the investor sees fit.
The best dividend stocks, of course, are those that pay the highest yield. If the yield is too low, it won't beat inflation. But there's no such thing as a dividend yield that's 'too high,' so why settle for 4% when there are plenty of dividend payers offering yields of 7% or better?
