Looking for Ideas as Stocks Sell Off? Try This Dividend Aristocrat
Many investors love dividends, and for good reason. Enough money invested in a high-yielding dividend stock could provide a sizable income, which is why dividend stocks are so popular with retirees. And some of the best dividend stocks are REITs (real estate investment trusts), because companies structured this way are required to pay out 90% of their income as dividends.
Monday's pullback might have you wondering which income stocks will hold up best if the market continues to fall. Realty Income (NYSE: O) is one REIT that pays a high-yielding monthly dividend, and it's a great place to start.
