Most investors look for undervalued stocks. They like to buy below the intrinsic value, wait and sell when the market carries the stock far above core price.

Dividend stocks often fall off the radars of investors looking for total returns, but dividend paying stocks greatly outperformed non-dividend paying stocks during the period from 1972 through 2013.

Sure, Dividend Stocks are not a one-way ticket for success. There are also many companies that have underperformed the market in recent years, such as Avon Products (AVP).

Dividend paying stocks have been a better investment than non-dividend paying stocks over the past 40 years. Investing in those stocks is not the only strategy that has a long history of outperformance.
