8 Dividend Stocks That Make the Grade

The market is getting a bit frothy here. The low-volatility summer is giving way to a higher volatility fall and that is going to play havoc with your blood pressure if you’re overly exposed to pure growth stocks. Aside from keeping your blood pressure under control, income stocks are valuable in this type of market because they offer a safe money alternative when things get dicey. Remember, the Federal Reserve is on the verge of raising rates and Europe and Japan central banks are also changing their buyback strategies. This is very likely to hit the stock market as well as the bond market pretty hard.

Below are eight dividend stocks that make the grade. These aren’t trades, these are investments and will help keep you and your portfolio well protected — and rewarded — over the long term. Dividend Stocks to Buy: AT&T Inc. (T), Procter & Gamble (PG), Lockheed Martin (LMT), Korea Electric Power (KEP), Prologis (PLD), WEC Energy Group (WEC), Entergy (ETR) and Kimco Realty (KIM).
