Safe Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 4% And Consistent Growth

Investors are often told that they can safely withdraw 4% of their portfolios upon retirement to help fund their living expenses. While doing so typically requires selling off assets, there are some dividend stocks that currently yield more than 4%.

Filling your portfolio with these types of stocks could make it possible for you to live off your dividend income alone, thereby reducing the need to decide which assets to sell -- and when.

Attached you will find 10 Dividend Champions with a current dividend yield of more than 4%...

20 Dogs Of The Dividend Champions, Each Yielding Over 4%

The investing strategy which focuses on Dogs of the Dow was popularized by Michael Higgins in his book, "Beating the Dow". The strategy's simplicity is one of its most attractive attributes. The Dogs of the Dow strategy is very simple to implement:

1) Take the 30 stocks that make up the DJIA
2) Rank in yield from highest to lowest on January 1
3) Buy the 10 stocks in equal weight

The premise of this investment style is that the Dow laggards, which are temporarily out-of-favor stocks, are still good companies because they are still included in the DJIA; therefore, holding on to them is a smart idea, in theory.

Once these companies rebound and the market has revalued them properly (or so you hope), you can sell them and replenish your portfolio with other good companies that are temporarily out of favor. 

Companies in the Dow have historically been very stable companies that can weather any market decline with their solid balance sheets and strong fundamentals.

Furthermore, because there is a committee perpetually tinkering with the DJIA's components, you can rest assured that the DJIA is made up of good, solid companies.

Today I like to enlarge this concept by looking at the Dogs of the Dividend Champions as of January 2016.

11 Dividend Aristocrats With Yields Over 4 Percent

When it comes to high-yield stocks, many big payouts are too good to be true.

Many battered companies feature sky-high yields, but that’s simply a product of math — if dividend yield is the payout divided by the stock price, and that stock price gets smaller, the yield will naturally get bigger.

The same can’t be said about dividend aristocrats — stocks with enough financial stability that they’ve been able to raise dividends for at least 25 consecutive years.

That’s as much proof as you can get that a company knows how to handle its cash, and how to spend it on investors, without putting its business in danger.

Of course, many dividend aristocrats still feature piddling yields — some lower than 1%. What’s more enticing to income investors is a dividend aristocrat that not only grows its payouts, but also offers a substantially high yield. 

So, today we’ll be looking at such dividend aristocrats that are recording decades of dividend growth while also yielding at least 4%.

These are the results:
