Dividend Stocks For the 2013 Stock Crash

Even though stimulus measures trigger market rallies, they're actually admissions that economies are so weak they need government assistance. As Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently stated, the economic conditions in the United States, particularly high unemployment, should be of "grave concern" to all. Legendary investor Jim Rogers declared in an interview that, "In America, we have had recessions every 4 to 6 years at the beginning of the republic. 2013 is going to be a mess. It always has been, there's no reason it won't be this time too. Be careful..." In order to heed Rogers' warning, investors should consider adding the following stocks to their portfolios.

The best way to profit from Rogers' sage advice is to buy stocks that have a healthy income stream and a history of increasing their income flow, even in times of economic downturn like what could happen next year. In the "mess" that Jim Rogers predicts for 2013, three "Dividend Aristocrats" that can be expected to perform well based on appealing valuations, solid franchises and past performance are Aflac Inc. (NYSE: AFL), Sysco Corp. (NYSE: SYY) and The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO).
