High Dividend, Low Volatility Stocks For Income Investors

In the hunt for low volatility stocks, one of the best ways to find stable companies is by looking at those that pay a steady stream of dividends. To some investors though, a 1% or 2% yield won't cut it; they're looking for the so-called monsters.

Pepco Holdings (POM) is one of the largest electric companies in the U.S. AT&T (T) may surprise some people by being on this list, but it does in fact pay a dividend yield near 5.3% and its beta sits squarely at 0.4. Finally, one more electric utility company, FirstEnergy (FE), also makes the cut. [More]
