3 Top Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 3%

There are several investing styles that can be effective, each of them requiring a certain set of skills and temperament. Dividend investing requires two crucial things: finding quality stocks that will be able to pay dividends consistently for decades, and then having the patience to wait years (decades, even) to let reinvested dividends do the heavy lifting of building wealth.

To get started on the path to wealth-building through dividend stocks, we asked three Motley Fool investors to each highlight a top-quality dividend stock. For a little bit of an additional challenge, we wanted to see companies with a dividend yield of more than 3%, better than the S&P 500's aggregate yield of 1.8% today. Here's why they picked Vodafone Group (NASDAQ:VOD), AT&T (NYSE:T), and Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD).
