3 Dividend Stocks That Could Pay You for the Rest of Your Life
Never say never. Plenty of companies that were once seen as permanent pillars of their respective industries are now all but gone, as are their dividends. Blockbuster Video, Eastman Kodak, and J.C. Penney are some of these names that come to mind, and they're just a sampling of the stocks that were once income stalwarts, but aren't any longer.
The fact of the matter is, however, some dividend-paying companies are simply better positioned to adapt to an unpredictable future than others. Among the most malleable businesses that income-minded investors may want to keep in their portfolios for decades are Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), American Tower (NYSE: AMT), and The Southern Company (NYSE: SO).
