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 1.31%), General Electric (GE 0.71%), Chevron (CVX -1.00%), Clorox (CLX 0.63%), and Procter & Gamble (PG 0.88%) are all timely picks for income investors today.
