Three Dividend Stocks to Buy

Investing for growth or income doesn't always have to be an "either/or" scenario. Investors can have the best of both worlds if they know where to look. Here are three dividend-paying companies to keep on your radar. These companies pay dividends with relatively high yields and offer the growth potential craved by aggressive investors. And the stocks have gotten too cheap to ignore.:

Apple (AAPL), whose shares rose 38% in 2014, is a stock to own long term. Sales of new iPhones are still gaining momentum and Apple says it plans to release a new line of iPads to recharge tablet growth. Dow Chemical (DOW) has raised its stock-buyback program to $9.5 billion from $4.5 billion and hiked its quarterly dividend 13.5% to 42 cents per share, putting the yield at 2.9%. Oracle (ORCL) ($43.61), the world's second-largest software company, should continue to benefit from its push into cloud services.
