3 High-Dividend Stocks That Can Handily Beat the Market

Seasoned investors know that finding the right mix of potential gains within their acceptable risk tolerance is a difficult task. However, while timing is always a factor, by exploiting disciplined strategies for success, the average investor's portfolio can perform as well as the best money market funds. One strategy is investing in high-paying dividend stocks from leading companies poised to deliver future results. The plan is simple: Buy them, forget them, and collect dividends. Let's examine three stocks currently poised for significant gains.

Cisco (CSCO - Get Report), one of the world's largest suppliers of the technology that runs the backbone of the Internet, delivers on revenue and profits quarter after quarter. If data is online, chances are good it passed through a Cisco router or device to get to its destination. Ford (F) is over 100 years old, trades an average of 28 million shares a day, and has a market capitalization of about $64 billion. Pfizer (PFE - Get Report), a pharmaceutical giant with a $211 billion market cap, has remained a favorite of mine for several years. I'm far from alone, evidenced by investors who have recently pushed its stock to new all-time highs.
