The Stellar High Dividend / Income Stock List

 

Below is a list of “income” stocks in relatively good financial standing. The investor should first check them out for their earnings and dividend record and any possible unfavorable news. Two low dividend stocks, SPY and SCHD were included because they are standard substitutes to represent benchmark S&P 500 and the Dow 100 returns. Total return numbers were taken from the Dividendchannel.com and / or Totalrealreturns.com with dividends reinvested.

These are companies, exchange traded funds (ETF's), and bussiness development companies (BDC's) that can substantially increase your initial yield on cost (YOC) over just a few years. Some of them have a history of returning a 20% to 40% dividend yield on your initial investment in 5 to 6 years, and will increase every year thereafter, if you reinvest dividends.
