Crash-Proof Dividend Stocks to Buy

The market is having an off week and has lost ground six of the last eight days. That has some investors wondering if the rally is “too good to be true.” There’s no doubt we could be in store for some short-term volatility. There’s the “sell in May” seasonality at play that we hear so much about. Earnings season always is a period of uncertainty, where a few bad headlines could sink a sector or send the market running for cover. There also are continued fireworks in Europe, with Spain now the crisis du jour. And let’s not forget the fact that some jobs data at home was less than impressive and has caused some to wonder if the economy is healing fast enough — or still healing at all.

So what picks should be on your radar right now even if the market could take a spill? Here are three of my favorite crash-proof dividend stocks to consider as long-term plays: General Mills (NYSE:GIS), E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (NYSE:DD) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ).
