Dividends provide you with cash from your investments, so you don't have to sell those investments to generate the cash you need to live. It's why investors love dividends so much and why you need to make sure the stocks you buy have what it takes to keep paying through good markets and bad. Here are three high-yield stocks that have proven their dividend credentials over time, and you may want to consider them for your portfolio.
Canada's Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) is offering a historically high dividend yield of 6.9%. The dividend has been increased annually for more than 25 years, putting the company in Dividend Aristocrat territory. Next up is real estate investment trust (REIT) W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC), which offers a 5.1% yield backed by annual dividend increases every year since its 1998 initial public offering (IPO). The Kellogg Company (NYSE: K), the last name on this list, shifts the yield level down a notch to 3.6%. However, that's still nearly three times what you would get from an S&P 500 Index fund and toward the high end of Kellogg's historical yield range.
