Forget Apple: Here Are 3 Better Dividend Stocks

With a yield of just 1%, investors have plenty of other stocks they can choose to invest in that pay much more. Below are three stocks that offer better payouts and that can be solid long-term investments to hold in your portfolio for many years.
Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is a drug manufacturer with sales all over the world. The healthcare stock's been one of the more stable stocks this year.
The New York-based company may not generate the level of long-term growth that you may expect from a top tech stock like Apple, but it can make for a stable, consistent dividend stock to hold in your portfolio. In each of its last 10 quarterly results, Pfizer's sales have been above $12 billion.
