Most of my investments come from the S&P 500. It’s still a big source for dividend stocks because 407 stocks (81.4 percent of the index member) pay dividends. I’ve often published lists of the highest yielding stocks, also from the S&P 500 but this list is getting smaller and smaller.
As of now, only 14 companies have a yield over five percent; Four of them are currently recommended to buy. The strong increase of the broad market makes stocks more expensive and yields come down. I hope that the average yield of equities will not fall to a 1 percent or less rate. Linked is a small list of all High-Yield stocks from the S&P 500.
Here are my favorite stocks:
