Barron's: Best Dividend Plays for 2009

Historically, dividends have been more important than capital gains for portfolio appreciation. It seems likely it will take several years (5+?) to recover from this current mess, so we're not likely to see prolong periods of 10%+ growth in market indices. That means we'll need to be good at picking stocks, and/or rely more on dividends. Just a thougt, I doubt my crystal ball is clearer than anyone elses.
