There was less ambiguity in the $2.8 billion merger offer made to limping BankAmerica (assets: $117 billion), headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Samuel Armacost, 47. The proposal from Joseph Pinola, 61, chairman of California's First Interstate Bancorp (No. 9 in the U.S., with assets of $50 billion), was to forge a firm that would rival Citicorp ($176 billion) as the country's No.1 banking institution.

Stocks that have higher than average dividends and that are rated as secure by Standard & Poor's include AmSouth Bancorp (4%), Chubb (2.4%), Johnson & Johnson (1.8%) and Pfizer (1.8%). These numbers may not seem big enough to lure you back into stocks. But a big advantage of dividends is that they grow over time. An investor who bought Johnson & Johnson 10 years ago would today be receiving a yield of 9% on that initial investment; for Pfizer the yield would be 11%. That investor would also have seen her J&J stock appreciate 90% and her Pfizer...
