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...

10 Highest Dividend Stocks on the S&P 500
Before moving on, it's important to mention that a high dividend doesn't necessarily translate into a good stock to invest in.
For example, Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FTR), the highest-paying company in the S&P 500, has struggled to turn a profit for several years now. In my opinion, it's at serious risk of a dividend cut in the near future.
With that in mind, there are a few stocks on this list worth buying. Here are my three favorites in no particular order.
These are the results...

12 Best REITs With Solid Fundamentals To Finance Profitable Growth
As long as they can keep raising rents and dividend payments, the stocks should fare well.
Indeed, REITs’ underlying properties should post a 4.5 percent average gain in operating income this year, fueling dividend growth in the “high single-digit” range, says investment firm Lazard, and yields in the range of 2 percent to 6 percent.
Attached you will find a selection of Reits with Return on Assests over 5 percent and solid debt ratios.
This is in my view the best way to discover stocks with potential for profitable growth in the future.

20 Stocks With A Free Cashflow Inital Yield Over 5%
But often we see earnings that are no earnings. The cash flow is often higher or lower and the need for capital expenditures makes it more complicated to evaluate the true earnings for return orientated investors.
A High free cash flow can be used for so many interesting things like
organic growth, merger and acquisitions or even buybacks and special dividends.
Attached I've compiled a few stocks that offer a free cash flow yield
over 5 percent. That’s a good initial yield in my view.

20 Value Income Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10 Year Treasury Yield
I found a great list of stocks that combine value investing criteria with growth. The list contains a number of attractive looking stocks with current yields above the bond yield.
It's a classical leveraged view. If you borrow money and put it into investments with a yield over your capital cost, you will make money. Dividends are not stable.
You need a huge spread yield. However, take a look at the attached list. I believe there are a few good names on it.
Here is the table....

Stocks With The Highest Annual Dividend Growth Of The Past 3, 5 and 10 Years
Recently, I showed you how your investment portfolio grows over 30 years if you own sustainable long-term dividend growth stocks. The key notice from the article was that if you buy high yielding stocks with fast dividend growth, you could maximize your portfolio return.
It sounds quite easy but it’s hard to find those stocks because no one of us can look into the future or has crystal ball.
Today I like to show you those stocks with the highest short, mid and long-term dividend growth of the past 3, 5 and 10 years.
Over the next upcoming days, I will also deliver a few stocks with the highest 10year dividend growth rate of the most consistent dividend raiser in the market.
Here the best dividend growers of the past decade....
5 High Yield Dividend Stocks With High Beta Ratios
While investing in
stocks with high dividends may be a good scheme to reinforce your loss-aversion
principle, playing the market to dodge volatility requires some extra cautious
steps. Beta measures the extent to which a fund’s return may be affected or how
much the price fluctuates owing to market conditions.
A high beta shows
normally how the performance of a single stock differs from the overall market.
The higher the ratio, the bigger the out- or underperformance develops.
It's great if you
like to be different, a star or a looser on the market.
Today I like to
show you those higher capitalized dividend stocks with beta ratios over 1.5 and
dividend yields over 5%. In order to keep the over levered stocks off the list,
I only observed stocks with a debt to equity ratio under 1.
14 stocks
fulfilled my criteria of which eight have a low forward P/E.

These Top Dividend Growth Stocks Should Boost Dividends By 15% Next Year
Goldman's Dividend Growth basket consists of 50 stocks with a median expected 2016 dividend yield of 3%. Goldman expects these companies to raise their dividends by an average of 12% in 2016. In comparison, the median S&P 500 stock has an expected dividend yield of 2.2% and an expected median dividend growth of 7% next year.

Attached are 9 stocks with potential to grow dividends in 2016 by more than 15%. Those stocks have better fundamentals than 40 others in the basket.

24 Stocks With Fresh Dividend Hikes
Several recent dividend growth stocks have a market capitalization
over $10 billion. Those are big names like McDonald’s, or Microsoft. The technology
and software giant also announced to buy back $40 billion in own shares. That’s
around 14 percent of the current market value.
I’ve attached a list for you of all dividend growers from the past week. You can also find there a list of the current valuations of the stocks. Half
of the results still have a low forward P/E below 15 and eleven received a buy or
better rating by brokerage firms.
20 Stocks And Funds With Dividend Growth
I personally don’t like REITs and financials because of
the high debt. They also invested huge amounts into assets of which I have no idea
how they could perform. I stay by my core research competence and let them do their
work.
Last week, 19 companies and one fund announced a dividend hike. Only half of them have a current buy or better rating. The average dividend growth of the top dividend growers from last week amounts to 53.73 percent.
