Brokerage:
Note: Dudack this year has been advising investors to focus on total return, which includes dividends. Although she's not a stock picker per se, there are a number of companies that fit her criteria for high-dividend stocks.
"It’s important to to use some filters, to look for dividends that are greater than inflation. And then to look for stocks that aren't paying out dividends that total more than 70 percent of earnings. And then you want to look for companies that still have improving profit margins. And then I look for other things that I like. I like to see companies that have increased their dividend every quarter or every year for the last 10 years. That shows to me that they have a very good business plan.
"There are companies that have done that like ExxonMobil; it has increased its dividend more than the rate of inflation every year. Johnson & Johnson has done that. Kellogg has done that."
