26 High Yield Stocks Delivering Strong Income

We love high dividend stocks and consider them as one of the best options for conservative investors. We don’t like the Fed’s inflationary monetary policy and the Federal government’s huge budget deficits. We think high yielding dividend stocks will perform much better than 10-year Treasuries over the next 10 years.

We compiled a list of 26 large companies with tremendous market capitalization that also pay fat dividend checks regularly. All companies in this list have a market capitalization above $20 billion and dividend yield of at least 5%.
