3 Top Dividend Stocks Yielding Up to 9.4%

A study from 2010 found that the majority of Americans were more afraid of outliving their retirement savings than they were of dying. What’s happened since then? Americans have witnessed a spectacular bull run, so we must be more prepared for retirement right? Not really. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck. But there is a way for investors hoping to retire to add some serious depth to their retirement savings. That’s with high-yield dividend stocks and companies that consistently raise their annual dividend yields.

t isn’t difficult to find a stock that provides an annual dividend above seven percent. You just need to remember that when it comes to dividends, there’s a risk/reward payout: the higher the dividend the riskier the stock. And right now, most of the eye-wateringly high dividend stocks are found in the oil and gas sector. Until oil and gas prices find a bottom, it might be better to consider high dividend stocks that are not related to commodity prices: StoneMor Partners L.P. (NYSE:STON), Vector Group Ltd (NYSE:VGR) and HCP, Inc. (NYSE:HCP).
