Dividend Stocks That Investors Need To Own Now

One of everyone's favorite areas to invest in are dividend-related stocks. They offer the benefit of income generation and potentially capital appreciation if investors can identify the right opportunities. I tend to stay focused on technology stocks and within that look for stocks that offer attractive yields and potential for growth.

The following two stocks were chosen based on the following criteria: 3%+ Annual Dividend Yield, 2014 EPS Growth Rate of 5%+, Stable Volatility Levels and Market Capitalization of 10 Billion+. The are: Microsoft (MSFT) and Intel (INTC). Although both Microsoft and Intel have a few risks for the future, both have shown the ability to continue thriving in an ever increasing technology world. Both understand the value of returning cash to investors while maintaining high levels of innovation. Both stocks are poised for strong growth and strong dividend streams.
