I can't seem to find Mergent's dividend lists. I found them a couple of weeks ago following your link and downloaded them. Now they seem to be offline since Mergent is selling etf's. Same with Morningstar. I can find their products but not the individuals who make up their lists.

D4L,<BR/>Some food for thought !<BR/>I have IIA and IGD in my income group (part of aggressive approach). These provide high current yield (10%). It helps boost portfolio YOC. In these two, I started 14 months ago at approx 10% YOC, now about 13% YOC. I made one time buy in both and since then have been reinvesting. I invested in such a way that reinvestment adds @1 share every month. It

D4L: Thanks for the swift reply.<BR/><BR/>I'd suggest taking a look at RVT and RMT which hold small and micro-caps (a rare occurence!).<BR/><BR/>Among domestic REITs, try RQI (Ben Stein recommends it). RWF for international REIT.<BR/><BR/>For international stocks look at ETO, ETG.<BR/><BR/>Foreign bonds - GIM, ESD. A good asset class, growing distributions like hell lately.<BR/><BR/>Happy

Al Locator: I do look at closed-end funds and include them in my ETF holdings. Did you have a specific closed-end fund in mind?<BR/><BR/>In my income portfolio, I hold currently hold AOD. I is sporting a current yield of 12.9%. I buy a few such investments to help the yield as I build a traditional dividend portfolio based on solid dividend growing companies.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes,<BR/>D4L

Have you considered closed-end funds? These days, some of them have yields around 10% (your 2017 YOC goal) and decent track record regarding distribution stability and total return.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Al.

Babui: Based on your comment, I have looked at Morningstar's Dividend Leaders Index and the FDL fund that tracks it. Initially, it looks very promising. I have made note of it and will do more research.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for the suggestion.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes,<BR/>D4L
