Question

I've been searching the Google and can't seem to find this bit of information. Any help? Thanks!

Answer 1

I did a google search - put in "top divident paying stocks" and got a bunch of results.

Here are a couple but there are a lot more webpages that will give you results.

Answer 2

There are dividend payers, and there are dividend payers. GM USED to be a good dividend payer, and a consistent one. But it fell on hard times, so if you had parked some money there hoping for a good stream of income, the loss of value, the principle, of the underlying stock killed whatever the dividends paid--and more. I ran with some preferreds and royalty trusts and generally got killed. Some were paying double-digit yields, but the yields kept getting higher--which is to say when a preferred stock keeps paying at the set price, but the yield goes up, again, the principle value was falling. In some cases it was falling because the business prospects of the underlying company was falling. Now if GM, cash rich as it was (but almost all earmarked and some of those purposes, like pensions, were underfunded) could flounder, what about some largely obscure mid-cap?

Look up DVY, an exchange traded fund containing good dividend paying companies, then go shopping in its component list. Another is the Standard & Poors dividend aristocrats, some 50 companies of stability with stable dividend history. Value Line has another set. Remember, when you ogle those double-digit yields, Wall Street has a fondness for linking return with risk. I've had some high-fliers crash and burn, I even worked for one once. Mark Twain, famous for making horrible investments, reportedly once said, "It isn't the return on my investment, it is the return of my investment." Good luck.
