Where To Find the Highest Dividend Paying Stocks

Income investors are on a never ending search for the highest dividend-paying stocks but most of them don't know where to look. They either settle for dividends that are far too low and may never grow a penny...or they take on way too much risk. But there's a simple solution if you're looking to boost your income stream. Fact is, there are at least three sectors right now where investors can safely build a fortune in high paying dividend stocks. Here's why.

History shows that investors who hold great dividend-paying stocks can outperform every other major sector-- including gold, silver, T-Bills, or bonds--by a wide margin. From 1972 through 2007, dividend-paying stocks returned between 8.9% and 10.9% on average every year, according to a recent study by Ned Davis Research. Meanwhile, non-dividend paying stocks brought in a paltry 2.5% gains. In other words, high dividend stocks provide 4.5 times greater wealth building power than non-dividend payers!
