If you're looking for higher yield and you don't want to sacrifice safety, I think you're best bet is to look for dividend stocks from solid companies. The payouts from a dividend stock go up over time — unlike the fixed payouts from a bond — giving you protection if interest rates rise. And if you pick a company with a solid and growing cash flow from its business, you're taking on much less risk than you would with a junk bond. Best of all, if you dig real hard, you can find stocks paying dividends of 3%, 4%, 5%, and even occasionally 6%.
Here are my ten favorite low-risk, high-dividend stocks: Bank of Nova Scotia (TSE:BNS) Yield 4.06%, General Electric (NYSE:GE) Yield 3.2%, Holly Energy Partners (NYSE:HEP) Yield 5.11%, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)
Yield 3.72%, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE:KMP) Yield 5.87%, ONEOK (NYSE:OKS) Yield 5.36%, SeaDrill (NYSE:SDRL) Yield 8.29%, Targa Resources Partners (NYSE:NGLS) Yield 5.63%, Westpac Banking (NYSE:WBK) Yield 6.62% and Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI) Yield 2.03%.
