Top Dividend Stocks to Own Until Retirement

If the past is indeed prologue, now is the time to get conservative and consider these less-than-barn-burning stocks, which have outperformed lots of high-fliers. This is an especially important consideration if you're looking at your retirement years, and you can't stomach another decade of volatile and negligible returns as we've seen over the past decade.

In the 20-20 hindsight we all crave, the odds are you could have done better with a portfolio made up of high-paying dividends stocks, and a modicum of these shares with a share-price gain. So you could say a "Hail Mary" for your portfolio, or better yet, bet on old reliables like these. Yes, they can be boring or even lugubrious as corporations, but these companies churn out steady cash flow year after year and have held their value like no other stocks. That's because they're into something we can't live without, such as telecommunications and gasoline.
