13 Great Safe Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4%
When the price of a dividend stock climbs, its yield falls. As a result, a rising stock market, such as we've had of late, can make it harder for income investors to find attractive dividend payers.
Indeed, the current dividend yield on Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is just 2.1%, down from 2.3% a year ago. For retirees dependent on investment income, a 2.1% yield won't even keep up with inflation in 2017.
True, investors can buy stocks with unusually high yields, but such names typically come with greater risks. A too-good-to-be-true yield can be a red flag about a company's financial health and an indicator that the dividend isn't sustainable.
That's why dependable, high-quality stocks with above-average dividend yields are such important components of a retirement portfolio. Here are four great dividend stocks that are paying double the yield of the blue-chip S&P 500 index.
Attached, we've tried to compile a couple of stocks which combines both, a high yield, growth and some kind of safeness.
These are the results...

5 Safe Dividend Stocks To Consider Now
With interest rates sitting near record lows, the stock market hitting all-time highs, and global growth remaining sluggish, many conservative investors seeking safe retirement income are anxious.
Dividend stocks have been a popular place to hunt for retirement income because they offer yields higher than Treasuries and provide the potential for income growth and capital appreciation.
However, not all dividend stocks are safe -- especially those with high yields and risky fundamentals.
But what should you add to your portfolio this year? Dividend stocks are good -- and often safe -- places for your cash.
Here are a few diverse industrial companies to consider investing in for 2017. Each not only pays a solid dividend, but also anticipates a strong year ahead, which could lead to share price appreciation as well.

5 Interesting Stocks For Income Investors With a Long Investment Horizon
Whether it’s your first, second, or third year reading my annual dividend stock picks, I’m excited to share my top retirement income picks for 2017. My theme for the year is “Stay in your lane and go with what you know.” It serves as a reminder that despite all the hoopla going on in the markets since the presidential election, the key to investing success is staying disciplined.
However, staying disciplined isn’t as easy as many investors expect. Simply because, different styles and approaches can ebb and flow with the markets direction.
This became evident late last year when interest rates shot through the roof. In less than three months, the 10-year US treasury jumped almost 1%, pushing down many of popular dividend paying stocks. For conservative investors who enjoy the income from stocks sectors like utilities, REITs, MLPs, and even boring consumer defensive stocks, 2017 couldn’t come fast enough.
As a result, many income oriented investors and retirees saw their portfolio’s flat-line despite the Dow and other major indices hitting new all-time highs.
That being said, I don’t think investors should flee from these sectors. While a new administration and Republican Congress might signal changes ahead, the election results have not diminished their long-term brand positioning, cash flow, or ability to make good on their dividends payments.
Attached you will find a couple of stocks that might be interesting for income investors with a long investment horizon.
