Stocks That Feed You Dividends

In a highly volatile investing environment in which investors are faced with huge swings in the markets on a seemingly daily basis, it’s comforting to me to have a constant stream of dividends rolling in. Dividend checks will keep coming in no matter how the market is reacting to the daily headlines. In the pursuit of a portfolio with lower volatility and higher yield, I’m currently looking to food companies within the consumer staples sector for promising stocks.

The investing premise for these three stocks is simple but true: people have to eat, no matter what the market does. These stocks have long histories of paying and raising dividends year in and year out, and may provide investors much-needed stability: H.J. Heinz (NYSE: HNZ), Hormel Foods (NYSE: HRL) and Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB). Each of these stocks provides consumers and income investors things they cannot live without: food and dividends, respectively.
