These are historic times for the stock market. At the time of writing this, the S&P 500 has a dividend yield of nearly 2.3%. The 10-year Treasury is under 1.8%. It is downright incredible that the S&P 500 yields 50 basis points more than the 10-year Treasury. Not only that, but the S&P 500’s dividend yield is largely taxed at 23.8% (the maximum Federal rate), while Treasury notes are taxed at a maximum rate of 43.4%. So not only does the S&P 500 yield a lot more than the 10-year Treasury, it is taxed a lot less.
If you’re looking to add high-quality dividend stocks on the dip, now is an excellent opportunity. To get you started, I’ve run the top dividend stocks in the S&P 500 through my stock screening tools and have come up with three dividend stocks that rate highly in both Dividend Grader and Portfolio Grader: The Home Depot, Inc. (HD), Public Storage (PSA) and Starbucks Corporation (SBUX).
