Six 6% Yield Stocks (With 60% Upside, Too)

As interest rates rise, the best defense will be a good offense. Research from Nuveen and Ned Davis confirms what we already knew – that dividend growth stocks outperform everyone else in the 36 months after a Fed rate increase. That’s no surprise either, because payout growers always outpace their counterparts. Everyone loves dividends, but dividend hikes are underappreciated. Not only do they increase the yield on your initial capital, but they often are reflected in a price increase for the stock.

Now this short list has the potential to form the perfect retirement portfolio. Think about it – a million dollars invested in these names will net you at least $60,000 in annual income. Plus, thanks to payout growth, you’ll receive healthy annual raises – so that you’ll never have to worry about selling any shares to raise money. Your dividends, along with the annual raises you receive, will fund your retirement entirely. Of the 35 names I uncovered, here are six that look great on paper... W.P. Carey Inc. REIT (WPC), Sabra Health Care REIT Inc (SBRA), Corenergy Infrastructure Trust Inc (CORR), Vector Group Ltd (VGR), Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc (BXMT) and Covanta Holding Corp (CVA).
