Investing in Dividend Paying Companies

First, interesting to see that names of companies like Westinghouse, Philip Morris, and Union Carbide had to be explained. Sheesh, I guess I am getting old, as these are as familiar as Google to me. More directly, I sometimes wonder "what is the true value of a stock." As the market value varies so greatly, the "present value of future cash flows." people surely must think that cash flow is not too clear! Dividends really help me see the value -- compared with bonds or most treasuries these company payouts provide real inflation protection. Thanks for an article weighted to something other than tomorrow!
