Wells, Somerset -- (SBWire) -- 09/12/2014 --Dividend stocks and ETFs are always very popular with stock market investors because they offer protection in a bear market, whilst still having the potential for capital and dividend growth in the long-term.

There are of course lots of stocks that pay a decent dividend, but a new report has recently been posted online that discusses two of the best dividend plays in 2014.

This free report discusses one company that has managed to increase their dividend payouts for 58 consecutive years, which is an amazing record and makes it an ideal candidate for anybody's portfolio.

It also discusses an ETF (exchange-traded fund) that's loaded with some of the best and most consistent dividend companies on the US stock market. This ETF requires 20 years of dividend growth in order to be considered for inclusion, which again makes it an ideal pick for both bull and bear markets because it is a very safe investment.

Commenting on this free report, a spokesman for Online-Trading-News.com said:

"In an ideal world everyone would like their portfolio to be full of growth stocks that have the potential to increase in value quite considerably over the coming years."

"However it's always a good idea to balance it out with several high dividend stocks and ETFs, and this free report discusses two of the best ones that are currently available to investors."
