hese Dividend Stocks Could Wreak Havoc on Your Portfolio

Usually, dividend stocks are a safe-haven for investors going into recessions, and a number of commentators thank recession is exactly where we're going. And even when it's not a recession, as Jeremy Siegel said in his The Future for Investors, "Dividends matter a lot. Reinvesting dividends is the critical factor giving the edge to most winning stocks in the long run."

All of a sudden, the picture becomes much clearer. Though they still have high PEG ratios, Nokia and Frontier are clearly dividend contenders. WWE and Otter Tail, on the other hand, look more like pretenders than anything else given their high FCF payout ratios. And Altria (which had an enormous change in settlement-related liabilities during the second quarter), as well as New Zealand Telecom and Teekay Tankers, exist somewhere in between the two groups for now.
