Dividend Stocks Poised to Rally

The performance has investors fired up, with the Dow on track to report its best October performance in decades and the VIX, which measures the market's volatility, sinking 15%, indicating a push back into equities by investors. While this is all great news, investors aren't home free. Many details of the European bailout are still to be finalized and the implementation of the plan could be difficult.

JPMorgan is one of the few big banks that's attractive. It's well-capitalized and provides a divided yield of 3%. M&T Bank is a regional player with a material amount of insider ownership -- always a good sign. It doesn't hurt that billionaire investor Warren Buffett is a top holder. Finally, Cisco Systems has loads of cash -- nearly $45 billion. The company is buying back shares, looking for acquisitions and even issued its first-ever dividend this year.
