3 Blue-Chip Dividend Stocks Drowning Investors With Cash

With oil prices falling off a cliff and global markets taking a dive in the last week, investors are increasingly looking to risk-averse assets in the last days of 2014. While there are legitimate concerns with overseas markets right now, the U.S. economy is chugging along nicely and blue-chip dividend stocks offer both capital appreciation and some degree of safety.

If you want to stay in the stock market but avoid the wild volatility of growth stocks, you might want to consider these three blue-chip dividend stocks that have been lining shareholder pockets with cash: CVS Health Corp (CVS), Boeing Co (BA) and Aetna Inc (AET). While not all the companies on today’s lists are commonly considered “dividend stocks,” they’re each worth between $30 billion and $100 billion, and each of them recently announced both share buybacks and dividend increases.
