As in past months, we are thrilled to present to you the top dividend stocks in the S&P500, this time we are showing the Top 100! We have also added the monthly return for March as well as the ex-dividend date (or estimate if unknown)
Lots of interesting stories but again, better to do your research when selecting a name. AT&T for example might have some problems if Apple, as rumored, breaks a deal with Verizon. So do your research, but this is a good starting point.
