  • Investors can also buy dividend-paying stocks. As interest rates decline, the yields offered on stocks look increasingly attractive. While there are many high-yielding stocks out there, companies that pay a reasonable and growing dividend over time tend to offer great total returns.

    Companies that can grow their sales or earnings over time are able to pay an increasing payout. Many shareholders, as owners of the company, appreciate those payouts. While only a small fraction of stocks pay growing dividends over time, there are always some announcements of dividend increases.

    For instance, Altria Group (MO) just announced a 4.1% increase in its quarterly dividend. The tobacco firm has paid increasing dividends for 55 consecutive years. At current prices, Altria pays a high yield of 7.8%.
