These 6 Great Dividend Stocks Paying You 5% Or More

Do you remember times when you get 5 percent on your savings? Those were great times but now we receive nothing for putting money into banks but still have a risk.

Dividend stocks rose and yields from the high-quality payer also come down but there are still a few names with solid dividends, cash payments above 5 percent.

When choosing high-dividend stocks over bonds you have a little more volatility to contend with and stock dividends can be cut by a company’s board of directors with no warning and with no legal liability.

Today, I like to show you 6 top dividend stocks with high yields and solid fundamentals. Which do you like?


These are the results...
