3 Dividend Stocks That Thrive in Market Crashes

Finding market-beating stocks can be tough when the stock market is falling because, historically, the majority of stocks go in the same direction as the S&P 500. However, there are some stocks that do better than others, and our Motley Fool investors think that the next time the bear comes calling, investors in Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN), Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) could come out ahead.

Todd Campbell (Amgen, Inc): The past doesn't guarantee the future, but sometimes, the past rhymes with it. If that's the case during the next market crash, owning Amgen, Inc. could be smart.
