On Monday Cramer explained that when hedge funds short a stock, they become responsible for paying that stock’s dividend while borrowing the shares. This makes stocks with high yields off limits for many bears. Given the favorable tax rate given to dividends, and their compounding ability over time, Cramer said dividend stocks offer investors real protection against losses. Cramer recommended dividend-paying stocks Intel (INTC), Kimberly-Clark (KMB), Clorox (CLX), McDonald’s (MCD), Sanofi-Aventis (SNY) and Eaton (ETN).
