Stocks vs. Bonds ... Why income investors should be seeking out and buying good dividend stocks?

Old_Skeet
edited July 2012 in Fund Discussions
The article linked below is by Seeking Alpha. It convers why income investors should be seeking out and buying good dividend paying stocks over lower yielding treasuries. I know most of the stocks and stock mutual funds that I have have owned provided me with good capital appreciation which can be harvested. With this, one captures both the dividends and capital apprecation as income, currently at favorable tax rates. If valuations should decline from a market decline I have found the dividends somewhat soften the downward movement as the good dividend payers seem to fall less than the market as a whole.

I hope you enjoy and find value in the read.
