And your top 5 highest dividend yields OUTSIDE REITs

[Harmony Management]

Please reveal a little about yourself, we are among ourselves.
I'm talking about dividend yields on cost price (not relative to current prices) excluding REITs.
For my part, PFIZER 7.8% WELLS FARGO 7.4% WALT DISNEY 5.8% MSFT 5.5% BATS 5.4%
I know, not great even though it should be better in a few years but unfortunately I didn't invest in dividend growing companies at age 10.
Thank you for your answers, this subject seems interesting to me and has not been covered until now.

Hi
It's true that we talk less about high yields here because growing dividends are favored.
The problem with high yields is that they often reflect difficulties, temporary or not, of the company, with a drop in profits, accompanied by a fall in the share price, and ultimately a reduction or cut in the dividend (with the consequence of an even more violent fall in the share price). This is not always the case, but history has shown that this is often how it happens.

In short, I'm still going to play this game and make my little selection:
– ARLP: 10.8%: it is an MLP, a coal producer in the US, in difficulty like all energy companies at the moment. Sensitive souls should abstain: very volatile and in a bearish phase.
– DEM: 5.2%: Emerging market high yield equity ETF, like energy, under pressure at the moment

For my part, I am a fan of Munich Re. A German Reinsurer that has never decreased its dividend in 60 years! The dividend is around 5% at the current price while the share price has increased by 30% since November 2014! And the half-yearly figures they released last week exceeded the most optimistic expectations: + 2.5% at the end of the day after the results were announced!

– (ZURN) Zurich insurance on the SIX market (13% compared to the purchase price), note that the title has been paying its dividend in capital gain for 2 years in any case, so no tax on the gain.
