With trade war volatility off the charts, investors are hunting for safety in safe dividend stocks.
That’s because dividend stocks can help smooth out the ride when markets drop. Plus, companies that consistently pay dividends tend to be safer, high-quality businesses with a history of weathering downturns.
Look at Stag Industrial (STAG), for example.


With a yield of about 5%, Stag Industrial (STAG) is a real estate investment trust, or REIT that leases industrial properties, such as warehouses and distribution centers to e-commerce companies. Better, it’s also benefiting from consumers shifting to online shopping.
“Current projections estimate that by 2025, online shopping could represent one-quarter of all retail transactions,” says MidMichiganNow.com. “This shift is primarily driven by the convenience of shopping from home, which offers consumers the ability to browse and purchase without the need to travel, endure potential crowds, or face the disappointment of out-of-stock items.” As long as that trend continues, REITs like STAG should benefit.
Sincerely,
