I’m in Boulder, Colorado today. The town seems full of people living on dividends. If you’re looking for stocks to retire on, go for growing dividends. In these times of uncertainty with the stock market and currency, stable dividends provide a floor on a stock’s price.
I recommend this take on a six good stocks at Dividends4Life.

Disclosure: The stocks mentioned are Aflac (AFL – $54.17), Canadian National Railway (CNI – $52.44), General Electric (GE – $28.17), U.S. Bankcorp (USB – $28.81), First Industrial Realty (FR – $25.41) and Consolidated Edison (ED – $38.43). I own none but GE. I am most likely to buy CNI or AFL. I will not likely buy USB.
