If You Like Dividends, You Should Love These 3 Stocks

I have a confession. I love dividend stocks. There is something reassuring about receiving those dividend payments: No matter what a company's stock price is doing, the payments can help keep you from making an irrational decision at the worst time. Also, it's hard to argue with the power of reinvested dividends over time.

Making the most of your dividend investments means investing in top-quality stocks that have the ability to stand the test of time and pay you an ever-increasing amount of cash. So let's take a look at three companies that fit this bill rather well -- Holly Energy Partners (NYSE:HEP), National Grid (NYSE:NGG), and Cintas (NASDAQ:CTAS) -- and see why you might want to consider them for your own portfolio.
