2 Dividend Stocks That Will Hold Up No Matter the Market Conditions: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/690542/recession-getty.jpeg

There's no question that this has been a difficult time for investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 14% in 2022, the S&P 500 is off 19%, and the Nasdaq Composite has lost more than a quarter of its value. It's been the worst first-half-year stock-market performance in 50 years.

And there is a good chance things could get worse. Inflation is at a 40-year high of 9.1%, and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 basis points in June -- the biggest hike since 1994 -- and may do so again this month.
