Hot Dividend Stocks For 2014

Three weeks ago, I outlined my plans to create a portfolio of 10 companies that all have one thing in common: They provide a basic need or deliver life's necessities. It's my contention that basic-needs companies can offer investors stability and growth throughout any market environment thanks to consistent demand, incredible pricing power, and delectable dividends. This portfolio, which I have dubbed the�Basic Needs Portfolio, will be pitted against the�S&P 500�over a period of three years with the expectations of outperformance for all 10 stocks. I'll be rolling out a new selection to this portfolio every week for the next seven weeks.

You can review my previous two selections here:

Waste Management Intel

Today, I plan to introduce the third of 10 selections to the Basic Needs Portfolio: NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE  ) .
