While 2019’s market handsomely rewarded investors, the U.S. Federal Reserve also cut interest rates to around 1.75% during the year, making it a little harder for folks to make passive income through savings accounts.

The Fed's dovish policy might be helping the economy, but it's leaving income investors out in the cold.
If you're looking for retirement income or just some extra cash to pad your portfolio, the top dividend stocks can more than make up for low interest rates and weak bond yields.
Our best dividend stock to own offers a dividend higher than 11%.
That's five times higher than the average S&P 500 yield of 2%.
But it's just one of several dividend stocks out there that can provide both appreciation and long-term income potential.

When I'm out on the golf course, I can usually play 'em straight and long – on a quiet day, that is. But when the wind whips up and starts to mess with me a bit, I've got to switch up to a shorter game to keep the wind from burying my handicap.
Playing stocks isn't any different. (You knew I was going to say that, didn't you?) What works on a calm day will bury you when the "weather" gets lively. When you change your game, you get much better long- and short-term results.
