8 Promising & High Yielding Stocks Of The S&P 500

Dividend stocks also suffer from the same macroeconomic forces that are hurting stocks this year. From a stronger dollar to lower oil prices, there’s no shortage of issues to weigh on corporate earnings and revenue. 

But there is not everything bad in this world. If you believe the American economy is strong enough and capitalism is working, you should bet on stocks.

Let me mention one thing, stock investing is no game and you should invest your money wisely in order to achieve a solid gain.

High yielding stocks don't provide always a good return. You must be very selective. By selecting stocks only from great indices like the Dow Jones or the S&P 500, you should avoid the big mistakes.

That doesn’t mean that every stock on the list of the S&P 500’s highest-yielding dividend stocks is a dog — just that due diligence is as important as ever. Some of these names have a great track record of dividend payments (and loads of cash flow to boot.) Some are much more risky.

Check out my attached top picks for the moment. I've selected only high yielding stocks with a dividend yield over 5 percent. Do you like some of them? Please let me know your thoughts about the selection. I like to discuss the opportunities and risks from the stocks.

Here are the 8 top picks...

10 Highest Yielding NASDAQ 100 Stocks Each Yielding Over 3%

The Nasdaq 100 has historically been "overweight" the technology sector as compared to the S&P 500. The highest yielding Nasdaq 100 stocks are no exception. Eight out of the top highest yielding Nasdaq 100 stocks are in the technology sector.

I personally like technology stocks because of their high free cash flows but the great lack is the unpredictability of the technology change.

Each well established technology could be useless within the next five years. It's great potential for new companies but also a big threat for established well proven stocks.

Below is a detailed overview of the 10 top yielding stocks, each growth investor with need of cash income should know.

These are the results:

5 Buy Rated Dividend Stocks With Fast Rising Payment Outputs

The U.S. interest rates are at historic lows and, at best, only modest interest rate increases can be expected next year. As such, there is hardly any option for income investors. 

With Bonds and Treasury bills yielding less than 2% over a 1-5 year time horizon, stocks with assured dividend growth are perhaps one of the few bright spots for investors. 

As even the most imprudent investor knows, dividend stocks are historically less volatile than non-dividend stocks and are proven outperformers over the long term. 

These stocks are a safe bet to create wealth as dividends generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Moreover, these stocks provide downside protection by offering sizable yields on a regular basis. 

A lot of investors consider dividend-paying companies as "boring." Weighed against the high-flying small cap companies, whose volatility seems to excite them, dividend-paying stocks are typically more mature and conventional. Although this may be uninteresting for some, the combination of a consistent dividend payout and dividend growth can be something to get excited about.

Below I've attached some good looking stocks that have grown dividends in the recent 5 years by more than 35 percent and having a current strong buy or buy rating.

Here are the results:

5 Consistently Growing, Profitable, Well-capitalized Stocks With Ever-Increasing Dividend Yields

Sectors with consistent dividends – most notably, utilities – are treated like bonds and tend to do well in low-rate environments. That’s because yields move in the opposite direction of price. But when rates rise, prices fall. 

What I'm looking for are companies that are consistently growing, consistently profitable, well-capitalized, as well as with an ever-increasing dividend yield.


In additon, it's good to look for companies that have consistency like consumer staple companied.


Here are some of the stocks with ever growing sales in the past.

I like Shaw Communications, a Canadian Cable, Telekom and Televison stock. In addition, Caterpillar, Abbvie, CBRL, Buckle, Yum Brankds, Abott and Wipro are looking good.

The general problem is for me the crisis in Europe and the ongoing sell-off in China. Both could be essential events for a possible market correction in the U.S. Economy.
