For dividend income, it is tough to beat Big Oil stocks such as BP (BP_), ConocoPhillips (COP), and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS-B). What makes BP, ConocoPhillips, and Royal Dutch Shell even more attractive for long-term investors is how much more the stock prices fluctuate than the average for the market. As a result, patient investors should have the opportunity to buy when the share price is lower with the dividend yield that much higher.
Stocks with a high beta move more than the market as a whole, which has a beta of 1. When the share price drops, the dividend yield becomes that much higher. The beta for BP is 1.62.

The dividend income component of BP, ConocoPhillips and Royal Dutch Shell really impresses. The dividend yield for BP is 4.73%. For Royal Dutch Shell, it is 4.64%.
