Certain stocks are designed for dividends. For example, real estate investment trusts (REITs) are required to pay out earnings as dividends, and often have huge yields. In the oil patch, master limited partnerships (MLPs) are often high dividend stocks, as many are devoted to “midstream” operations like pipelines. But there are also some very fat dividends on the open market, if you know where to look, and are ready to assume some risk. With that in mind, the following are three dividend stocks to consider.
CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL) combines the old U.S. West phone company with internet assets, and its 54 cent-per-share quarterly dividend represents a yield of 9.6% on its Sept. 12 opening price of $22.40-per-share. Ford (NYSE:F) is a dividend aristocrat because its stock price keeps falling. I should know. I own a bunch of it, and I’m sitting on a loss. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (NYSE:BBVA), known as BBVA, is a Spanish bank that is very active in emerging markets.
