Q&A With Scott Davis, Manager, Columbia Dividend Income Fund
FYI: Even fans of dividend-paying stocks acknowledge that they're looking riskier, a result of their own success. Dollars are pouring into stocks of utilities and other companies that make regular payouts to their shareholders, because they're at the center of a few investment trends. Investors are not only hungry for income given the low interest payments bonds are offering; they also want investments that will hold steady when markets are shaky Regards, Ted http://bigstory.ap.org/article/765b0531200641c9b8fc3b2fe24f6640/fund-manager-qa-dividend-stocks-look-better-if-not-good
