3 Top Income Stocks Yielding Up to 12.7%

Income stocks have a hidden benefit: growth. Over time, corporate profits, and by rough extension their dividends, grow at or above the rate of inflation. That allows your income stream to keep increasing with the rising cost of living. But where to begin? To help get you started, I’ve highlighted three of my favorite high-yield income stocks. To be clear, the names below don’t constitute “buy” recommendations. But all three companies have reliable businesses and respectable income streams, so it’s a good place to begin research.

I often describe DCP Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE:DCP) as a “toll road” of the energy industry. Rather than searching for oil and gas, the pipeline operator ships commodities across the country. In exchange, management collects a tariff, or “toll,” on each barrel that flows through its network. I doubt one in 100 people have heard of SFL Corporation Ltd (NYSE:SFL). It’s probably the best-kept secret of the stock market. One of my favorites: New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:NYMT). The partnership invests primarily in mezzanine loans, commercial developments, and distressed residential debt. The high payouts on these deals allow NYMT to fund one of the biggest yields around: 12.7.
