Are Dividend Stocks Still Worth Buying?
Long favored by risk-averse retirees, dividend-paying stocks have been attracting investors of all stripes lately for their high yields and market-trumping returns. But as their popularity grows, even some advisers are starting to ask: Are dividend payers getting too pricey? Investors poured $31.3 billion into mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that invest in dividend payers last year, nearly five times the amount in 2010, according to researcher Lipper Inc. That rush, however, is making many dividend payers more expensive, say advisers. Historically, dividend stocks trade at lower price-to-earnings ratios, with the expectation that they'll grow less quickly than other stocks. While that's still the case, the gap between payers and non-payers is shrinking. To avoid overpaying for income, advisers say investors should...

For the record, McCormick has been recommending McDonald's since appearing on Breakout last June. In fact, his four picks McDonald's...

Dogs of the Dow Are Outperforming the Dow
Dogs of the Dow is an investing strategy that buys and holds equal dollar amounts of the 10 best-yielding dividend stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEX: ^DJI ) . The strategy banks on the idea that blue-chip stocks with high yields are near the bottom of their business cycle and should do much better going forward. Investors in the strategy then would not only get large dividends but also gains in the stocks underlying those dividends. Evidence compiled by Tweedy Browne refutes these falsehoods. Research shows that...
