Dividend-Paying Stocks Should be on Your "Buy" List

Despite several big up days, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is still down more than 600 points from its May 1 close, and the Standard & Poor's 500 is off more than 5%. Throw in some fairly severe volatility and you've got a lot of befuddled market players wondering just what to do next. Those invested in dividend-paying stocks aren't rattled by the current low prices. They know that share-price dips offer lots of new opportunities to grab even more lucrative yields from many dividend-rich stocks, trusts and limited partnership shares.

The next time the markets sell off sharply, rather than bottom fishing among growth stocks, maybe you should just try locking in some greatly improved dividend yields. The opportunities stretch across the full spectrum of dividend-paying stocks - in every industry, from high share prices to low, and from rich to merely respectable yields.
