Even the highest-quality companies suffer setbacks, which can present a golden opportunity to buy beaten-down shares and watch them rebound.
In addition, with the stock having taken a hit, your investment dollars buy more shares, meaning a juicier yield and a bigger income stream for decades -- perhaps even the rest of your life.
Remember that no stock is without risk, and there are no guarantees. But if you have some patience and don't mind a little risk, these attached companies have a long history of solid performance and could make great choices for a retirement portfolio. All you need is a long-term investment horizon.
