It's that time of year again - time to take a look into the next year and determine the Best Dividend stocks of 2010. 2009 was one of the worst years for stock-dividend payouts since World War II, but the year is finally coming to an end. Standard & Poor's sees dividends among S&P 500 index companies climbing more than 6% over this year, offering the hope of attractive returns for income-oriented investors turned off by particularly low bond yields.
Let's get right to them - the three Dividend stocks we like in 2010 are Cellcom Israel Ltd. (Public, NYSE:CEL) , Altria Group, Inc. (Public, NYSE:MO) and Extra Space Storage, Inc. (Public, NYSE:EXR)

New highs for shares of IMAX Corporation (USA) (NASDAQ:IMAX), Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:MO) and The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS).   These three companies are on solid ground and WallStNation.com believes there's more upside for each of these stocks.

The Dow has gained 150+ points today for a new 2009 high and along for the ride are new 52-week highs for shares of Discovery Communications (NASDAQ:DISCA), Altria Group (NYSE:MO), and Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:MVL).

Altria Group Inc. (NYSE:MO) beat the Street by one Penny last week and despite a solid guidance with products that American's have grown to love over the years shares are stuck at $18. Tack on Altria's 28.7% stake in the world's largest brewing company SABMiller and you got yourself a tough guy that is just waiting for the right time to smoke the competition.

Altria Group (NYSE:MO) reports Q3 09 earnings tomorrow morning (Oct 21st) and Minyanville.com believes the call may be "Smokin'".

Altria (NYSE:MO) - I can’t believe this stock is trading at right around $17 - 10 times below the current-year estimate. And check out its dividend history. People act like people will never light up again.

One thing you can't argue, consumers’ appetite for Marlboro cigarettes thanks to the Altria Group (NYSE:MO).

Smoking is a great biz even in bad times for Altria (NYSE:MO)

Be careful in comparing to last years results as the full effect of the Phillip Morris international (NYSE:PM) spin from Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:MO) is not seperated yet from most financial sites.

The Marlboro maker, who recently spun off Phillip Morris International (NYSE:PM) and Kraft (NYSE:KFT) to shareholders is now a leader in the smokless catagory.
