The Highest Yielding S&P 500 And The Dogs of the S&P 500

While you wait—and wait—for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, you can collect generous checks by investing in dividend stocks. And you don’t have to wander far to find attractive payers. Just look at Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index. 

Of its 500 member companies, 84% pay dividends, up from 75% a decade ago. On top of that, many of the index’s constituents are rewarding shareholders by boosting their payouts; so far this year, 169 S&P companies have done so.

There are stocks on the S&P 500 that pay nearly 10%, but that doesn't make them great investments.

The average stock on the S&P 500 index pays a dividend yield of 2.41%, but some are paying much more. Here's a chart of the 10 highest-paying dividend stocks on the S&P 500, and which ones might be the best choices to buy and hold for the long term.

Here are the highest yielding S&P 500 and the Dogs of the S&P 500...

20 Safe Heaven Large Cap Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 3%

The stock market is currently enjoying a lot of strength, with the major indices trading near record highs, which is a great thing, but it also creates a little fear among investors who expect to see profit takers move in and push the market lower.

When the market is strong as it currently is, you never want to liquidate your holdings in order to avoid a potential selloff, but you should take a look at some of your strongest positions and consider taking some profits off the table to putting your money to work in safer stocks.

Safe-haven stocks are generally very defensive in nature, and while you will not expect to see huge share gains in these stocks, you can typically expect slow and steady gains with little to no risk of a huge sell off.

These stocks look very attractive at this time, and as such you ought to consider adding a few to your portfolio for a little defense and to ensure the latter part of the year is as successful as the first half.

The following 20 stocks are all great safe-haven stocks that I like now by fundamentals and technical indicators. They are in no particular order, and each appear to be solid buy candidates at this point.

13 Great Safe Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4%

When the price of a dividend stock climbs, its yield falls. As a result, a rising stock market, such as we've had of late, can make it harder for income investors to find attractive dividend payers.

Indeed, the current dividend yield on Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is just 2.1%, down from 2.3% a year ago. For retirees dependent on investment income, a 2.1% yield won't even keep up with inflation in 2017.

True, investors can buy stocks with unusually high yields, but such names typically come with greater risks. A too-good-to-be-true yield can be a red flag about a company's financial health and an indicator that the dividend isn't sustainable.

That's why dependable, high-quality stocks with above-average dividend yields are such important components of a retirement portfolio. Here are four great dividend stocks that are paying double the yield of the blue-chip S&P 500 index.

Attached, we've tried to compile a couple of stocks which combines both, a high yield, growth and some kind of safeness.

5 Interesting Stocks For Income Investors With a Long Investment Horizon

Whether it’s your first, second, or third year reading my annual dividend stock picks, I’m excited to share my top retirement income picks for 2017. My theme for the year is “Stay in your lane and go with what you know.” It serves as a reminder that despite all the hoopla going on in the markets since the presidential election, the key to investing success is staying disciplined.

However, staying disciplined isn’t as easy as many investors expect. Simply because, different styles and approaches can ebb and flow with the markets direction. 

This became evident late last year when interest rates shot through the roof. In less than three months, the 10-year US treasury jumped almost 1%, pushing down many of popular dividend paying stocks. For conservative investors who enjoy the income from stocks sectors like utilities, REITs, MLPs, and even boring consumer defensive stocks, 2017 couldn’t come fast enough.

As a result, many income oriented investors and retirees saw their portfolio’s flat-line despite the Dow and other major indices hitting new all-time highs. 

That being said, I don’t think investors should flee from these sectors. While a new administration and Republican Congress might signal changes ahead, the election results have not diminished their long-term brand positioning, cash flow, or ability to make good on their dividends payments.

Attached you will find a couple of stocks that might be interesting for income investors with a long investment horizon.

16 High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks

More often than not, dividend stocks are what form the foundation of any great retirement portfolio. Not only have dividend stocks handily outperformed non-dividend-paying stocks over the long run, but they also offer a number of other advantages that income investors are bound to like.

To begin with, dividend-paying companies often have time-tested business models. A business is unlikely to pay a recurring dividend to investors if its management team didn't believe profits would grow in the future. Thus, dividend stocks are often a beacon of profitability and stability that attract income seekers.

Dividend stocks also help to hedge against inevitable stock market corrections -- there have been 35 stock market corrections of at least 10% since 1950 in the S&P 500 -- and payouts can be reinvested back into more shares of stock via a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, or DRIP. Purchasing more shares of dividend-paying stock with your payout in a repeating cycle can help your nest egg quickly compound in value over time.

Unfortunately, dividend stocks can also harbor a dark side. Income seekers would like the highest dividend yield possible, but they also have to ensure that a payout is sustainable. Dividend yields are a function of a stock's price, meaning a plunging stock price can dramatically lift dividend yields, making them seem attractive, at least on the surface. But, as we know, a plunging stock price could signify a business model that's in trouble. Thus, high-yield dividends, or those with yields of 4% or higher, should be heavily scrutinized by investors.

The yields on dividend stocks rise when their share prices become depressed. That’s an opportunity to chase extra yield. Besides, the best dividend-paying stocks do their most good when they are held for long periods of time. Ideally, the holding period includes many dividend hikes and market cycles.

In the beginning of this New Year, many investors review their portfolios. We all hope for a good year on the market and, most importantly, steady dividend growth increase among our portfolio. I selected some high yielding long term dividend growth stocks I think will perform well in 2017 and will increase their dividend payouts.

20 High Yielding Oversold And Underestimated Dividend Paying Stocks

I get questions from retired and income investors asking about oversold dividend stocks. 

In the current market, a lot of dividends stocks — particularly the more well-known ones — are hitting new 52-week highs on a regular basis.

These investors want to know if buying at all-time or 52-week highs is a mistake. 

The answer is usually, “it depends.” If you have a long-term horizon of, say, ten years or more, it doesn’t really matter.

The other answer, however, is that if the investor is looking for solid dividend stocks, there’s no reason to confine oneself to Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). 

There are other dividend payers out there, and I prefer to look for stock that are 10% or more off their 52-week highs. 

I personally use the technical indicator of the RSI in order to identify really oversold dividend paying stocks.

It suggests that, in an environment where everyone is looking for yield, that the stock has sold off for reasons that aren’t critical to its ongoing operations. That creates a buying opportunity.

Here are 20 higher capitalzied dividend stocks with yields over 4% looking oversold and undervalued:
