Many of these companies are very solid with nice dividend payments while some might be borderline interesting. Make sure that you do as much research as you possibly can before you purchase any stocks named here. Remember that you are investing at your own risk and it is worth your time.
There are many other stocks going ex-dividend in January of 2013 but these are the ones that I felt were important to the type of investments I usually make. Make sure to check in again as we will have a new list each and every month!

Apple inc. stock pays a dividend and has a low P/E ratio is it worth investing in?
Apple as a company is a monster. They are an angry aggressive monster who is looking to take over. They are making so much money that they can buy other "big companies" and it wouldn't even matter to them. They are currently at $523.xx per share but yet people are scared to buy them. Yes I understand it's not as interesting to buy 10 shares of apple instead of getting 1000 shares of something else but it's probably a better investment. They are currently paying about a 2.02% dividend yield and while that is not too much it wasn't long ago that they didn't even pay a dividend.
When most people think of apple they are thinking of the Ipods, Ipads and some of their other products but Apple is so much more than that. They have a long history of huge highs and low lows. They were a giant and then they weren't a giant, now once again they are a giant. They currently have a 11.85 P/E Ratio putting them right in that category where you have to take notice.
You will find that many people are afraid that they can't continue to make money like they have been but they have put together a structure of money making. People can't just upgrade their products they have to buy new products. Companies like Samsung can't just copy their products because they will sue them and win. When you are buying Apple you are behind already, you missed the biggest push but that doesn't mean that you are wasting your time or money.
They are still one of the better investment options out there. Apples last 2 dividend payments have been $2.65 per share while some would say they should do far better than this I'd rather have them putting the money back into the company. I know that sounds weird coming from a dividend investor but I also like capital gains. I think the more money they have for research and development the more money they will bring in and the better products they will bring to market.

Top 10 dividend stock of 2013
Some of the best dividend paying stocks are some of the biggest names out there. When I think about stocks that I am sure I want to invest in I think of GE General Electric, WMT Walmart, KO Coca Cola, XOM Exxon Mobil, AAPL Apple Inc, MCD Mcdonald's, MSFT Microsoft.
These are some of the strongest earning dividend stocks around. These are stocks that let me sleep at night while bring me a healthy return. I don't own all of them but I would if I could. Investing is about doing what makes you feel comfortable. It's about taking your chances and believing in yourself because you are confident in your research. When it comes to getting real returns on your investments your best bet is to go with a proven winner. Sure you can buy REIT's all day long and you will get more bang for your buck in the short term but that can be really risky especially in this current market with all the current economics we deal with.
When I think about investing in General Electric I think about a company that has proven time and time again that it will continue to raise it's dividend and pay it's share holders. When I think about Apple I think about a company that has just started paying dividends but the future looks very bright. Some would say that perhaps they have peaked and what else can they do? Well I say I believe in a winner and a company that is an innovative as they are.
Investing in Mcdonald's is almost a no brainer to me. They will always be making money and if their stock price goes down a little you can always just dollar cost average your way into a good position again. I really like them with their current dividend yield at 3.52% it just feels like a solid investment to me. Some people have concerns about their price increases but I know that the public is going to pay those increases because they are hooked on the product, yes I believe food is addicting.
Looking into Walmart I see a company that makes more than a few good decisions and a company that is in it to continue to make as much money as possible their current dividend yield is 2.35% which is not the greatest out there but when you are making a portfolio it sure looks nice to have a healthy chunk of Walmart stock in there. When I am investing I am looking to have a portfolio filled with solid companies with solid earnings and continued growth.
Intel is a company I buy from time to time and it never lets me down. Although many would have you believe that the company is falling to pieces and is too old to adapt to the current consumers needs I find myself believing in Intel to continue to find a way to dominate. They have so much money for research and development that very few other companies can compete. They currently have a 4.45% dividend yield which is beautiful and I guess we will all find out over the upcoming years how they adapt to the new world of computing.

JCPenney stock looks bad and they aren't earning any money
JCPenney is a struggling company and I just don't see this stock as something I would buy at this point especially with it not having a dividend now.
