Capitalist Times Contribution: Digital Dividends

My latest Capitalist Times contribution was published about a month ago. Digital Dividends looks within the technology sector for non-traditional dividend paying stocks, meaning skip the semis and steady old-time software companies.

Income-seeking investors tend to gravitate toward utility stocks, master limited partnerships and real estate investment trusts—groups that generate reliable cash flow to support generous dividends.

Despite a reputation for volatile revenue and cutthroat competition that requires constant research and development to stay ahead of the curve, the technology sector is home to more than a few dividend-paying companies worthy of your consideration.
