The Federal Reserve gave the "all clear" to high-dividend stocks when it held off raising rates. Go full steam ahead on these seven. If there has been one driving force of the markets in recent months, it would have to be the Federal Reserve and its stance toward interest rates. And while that stance (don’t move ’em!) has moved the entire market, dividend stocks — particularly high-dividend stocks — have really felt the effects.
Truth be told, a move up from 0.5% to 0.75%, if it were to happen, wouldn’t do much to dissuade investors who are looking for yields in the high single digits, anyway. But with the Fed pausing for now, superstar mortgage REITs like Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NLY) could be a big buy. One of the best BDCs is elder statesman Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC). It’s not every day that you can pick up a blue-chip stock with a high dividend yield, but HCP, Inc. (HCP) isn’t an everyday find. AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (APU), a master limited partnership (MLP), is the nation’s largest distributor of liquefied propane. As one of the largest royalty trusts, BP Prudhoe Royalty Trust (BPT) collects fees on the first 90,000 barrels of oil collected in the massive Prudhoe Bay oil field located on Alaska’s North Slope. For now, utilities like Southern Company (SO) are safe. PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF (KBWD) might just be the best play of them all.
