Fool Video: 6 Stocks That Pay

A study by Ned Davis Research found that, from 1972 to 2006, dividend-paying stocks returned 10.1% annually, compared to a 4.1% return for stocks that didn't pay a dividend. So which dividend stocks will continue to pay off for investors? In this installment of  "Fool Video," Motley Fool analyst and Income Investor co-advisor James Early talks with Online Managing Editor LouAnn DiCosmo and gives his take on Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG  ) , Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ  ) , Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD  ) , Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO  ) , ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP  ) , Chevron (NYSE: CVX  ) , and Biovail (NYSE: BVF  ) .

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!

Johnson & Johnson is an Income Investor recommendation. Coca-Cola is an Inside Value recommendation. Neither Lou nor James nor Mac owns any of the stocks discussed. The Fool has a disclosure policy.
