Bond yields have been soaring for months and particularly since the presidential election. The 10-year Treasury yield is up nearly 70% from its mid-summer lows. Yet even after a run like that, the 10-year yield is still a pitiful 2.2%. Good luck living on that in retirement. Investors looking for retirement income are still going to have better luck with a portfolio of dividend stocks. High-yield dividend stocks are uniquely well suited as retirement stocks, as they reduce your need to sell assets to fund your retirement needs.
But if you’re depending on the income stream thrown off by a portfolio of dividend stocks, your retirement is safe regardless of whether the market goes up, down or sideways … indefinitely. With that as a backdrop, the following are three of my favorite dividend-paying retirement stocks. All of these are stocks that I’d feel comfortable dropping in a drawer and forgetting about for years at a time. Dividend Stocks to Buy for Retirement: Realty Income Corp (O), Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD) and STAG Industrial Inc (STAG).
