Yes, You Can Still Build A 4% Yielding Portfolio In Today's Market

A common complaint I see on Seeking Alpha is that the market is too expensive and there are limited opportunities for income investors. Despite certain sectors being expensive, there are still plenty of dividend growth stocks available at reasonable yields and valuations. I present a diversified 25 stock portfolio of quality companies providing a overall yield over 4% at today's prices.

Here is the portfolio of 25 companies that I came up with:

(NYSE:ABBV) AbbVie Inc
(NYSE:CAT) Caterpillar Inc
(NYSE:CMI) Cummins Inc.
(NASDAQ:CSCO) Cisco Systems, Inc.
(NYSE:CVX) Chevron Corporation
(NYSE:D) Dominion Resources, Inc.
(NYSE:DUK) Duke Energy Corp
(NYSE:EMR) Emerson Electric Co.
(NYSE:EPD) Enterprise Products Partners L.P.
(NYSE:HCP) HCP, Inc.
(NYSE:IBM) International Business Machines Corp.
(NYSE:LMT) Lockheed Martin Corporation
(NYSE:MCD) McDonald's Corporation
(NYSE:MO) Altria Group Inc
(NYSE:O) Realty Income Corp
(NYSE:OXY) Occidental Petroleum Corporation
(NYSE:PFE) Pfizer Inc.
(NYSE:PG) Procter & Gamble Co
(NYSE:PM) Philip Morris International Inc.
(NYSE:PPL) PPL Corp
(NASDAQ:QCOM) QUALCOMM, Inc.
(NYSE:SO) Southern Co
