5 Dividend Stocks for Those that Missed the Rally

Your divy stock picks obviously have better yields than Treasuries and better than most stocks, but still appear dangerous to me as all have declining earnings and revenues flat to declining, especially CAT, which pushes their P/E's too high. Their growth prospects also appear very limited any time soon so it appears that a down bias is much more likely and earning 3% with the potential to lose 25% (based on their average 52 week lows) does not appeal to me at the present time.

These will probably be excellent buys after Wall Street returns to reality again after the next big down turn, which has to come as the economy has a long way to go to reach a positive growth status.and more tough times lay ahead.
