  European Dividend Stocks to Buy: Telefonica (TEF)

  Dividend Yield: 6%

  And finally, we get to one of my favorite long-term holdings, Spanish telecom giant Telefonica (TEF).

  With dividend stocks, however, you have no guarantee that there's no assurance that you'll receive a dividend. For instance, Spanish telecom company Telefonica (NYSE: TEF  ) chose last year not to pay its planned dividend for 2012, saying it would restore half the payout later this year. Even stalwart blue-chips General Electric (NYSE: GE  ) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE  ) had to reduce their dividends dramatically during the financial crisis, and even now, they haven't risen back to their pre-crisis levels.

  I continue to watch U.S.-based Verizon (NYSE:VZ); more updates later. I dont currently recommend Spain-based Telef贸nica (NYSE:TEF), as Robert outlines below.

  Other companies didn't do quite as well last year, but could see their fortunes change in the coming years. Spanish telecom concern Telefonica (NYSE: TEF  ) gained 5%. The company is saddled with a lot of debt, and some see it as a possible acquisition target. Meanwhile, Telefonica is pushing Windows phones in Europe, and it has sold its Irish subsidiary.
