3 Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stocks Begging to Be Bought
More often than not, dividend stocks are the glue that holds great portfolios together. Back in 2013, J.P. Morgan Asset Management released an analysis that compared the annualized return of publicly traded companies that initiated and grew their payouts between 1972 and 2012 with publicly traded non-dividend companies over the same period. The report revealed that dividend-paying stocks ran circles around non-dividend-paying stocks by a wide margin (9.5% annualized vs. 1.6%).
These figures shouldn't surprise anyone. Businesses that pay a dividend are often profitable, time-tested, and have trustworthy management teams.
