High Yield Dividend Stocks for September

High yield dividend stocks remain en vogue as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben “Shalom” Bernanke continues to keep rates at historically low levels. With the Fed funds rate hovering at 0% so that banks can get back on their feet, individual investors have few places to turn other than high yielding dividend stock investments. The Fed has penalized safety-seeking savers and retirees in order to make sure that the big and powerful banks can turn a profit.

Treasury bonds, if not kept until maturity, could actually be a money losing investment. Many Wall Street insiders suspect that there will be a mass exodus from the treasury bubble that has been inflating as investors –globally – have jumped into US treasuries to escape the uncertainties of an economic downturn and a volatile equities market. On the other hand, investors can pick a number of compelling high yielding stocks that deliver income in the form of a dividend and have upside to their stock price.
