One thing all investors can agree on is that markets fluctuate. Stock prices rise and fall for innumerable reasons. Another thing we can be sure of is that dividend-paying stocks have historically outperformed non-dividend stocks. Therefore, one of the best ways to capture market-beating returns is to invest in industry-leading companies with sustainable dividends during times when their respective stocks are trading down. Check out the presentation below to find out why companies like AT&T (T 1.89%), General Electric (GE 1.12%), Chevron (CVX 1.13%), Clorox (CLX +1.63%), and Procter & Gamble (PG +0.54%) are all timely picks for income investors today.
