When stocks sell off in a market correction, investors should take a closer look. Although the Canadian stock market, using iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF as a proxy, has bounced back some (about 3.7%) in the past five trading days, the market is still close to 12% lower versus three months ago. Therefore, investors can still discover good stocks to buy.

Here are a few dividend-paying sell-off stocks that could help set you up for life! While the average long-term market return rate is 10% at best, these stocks have the potential to appreciate more than 40% over the next 12 months. Keep in mind though that having an investment horizon of three to five years will increase your chance of booking sizeable gains.

The company is focused on owning and operating high-quality businesses that provide essential products and services. However, it is very active in the investing front and buys and sells businesses.
