Blue chip dividend stocks, like IBM and Procter & Gamble, have many of the same qualities as bonds. They have low growth expectations, investors own them for the coupon or dividend payments and they are considered safe.
This is important because this unprecedented period of low to zero interest rates has forced conservative investors to buy these dividend stocks. That’s because they haven’t been able to get any return on bonds or in their deposit accounts.
These are cautious investors. Maybe you’re one of them. Normally, they would be investing only in bonds and CDs. By nature, they’ve bought only the most stable dividend-paying blue chip stocks, like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Coca-Cola (KO) and Wal-Mart (WMT). The last few years have featured a “reach for yield” as these conservative investors have moved money into the stock market to try to get some income.
