Dividend Stocks Keep on Keeping on

"In the euro area, U.K. and U.S., dividend indices outperformed their wider markets by 3.8 percent, 5.6 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively." The analysts listed several reasons to own dividend stocks: low bond yields, reasonable valuations, strong inflows to high-dividend mutual and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), buoyant earnings and the likelihood that European companies in particular will devote more of their cash to dividends than their U.S. counterparts.

If you want to invest in dividend stocks through ETFs, Jeff Cox of CNBC suggests looking at WisdomTree MidCap Dividend Fund, Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund ETF Shares, SPDR S&P Dividend ETF, Powershares Dividend Achiever Portfolio and iShares Core High Dividend ETF. Meanwhile, Bill Spetrino, editor of the Newsmax newsletter "The Dividend Machine," offered a couple stock picks to Newsmax TV — Apple and tobacco goliath Philip Morris.
