Our Top High-Yield Ideas For 2019

These three picks are all up more than 10% so far in 2019. The three themes are LNG, specialized healthcare, and small banks. The yields range from ~5% to 10%, all with strong coverage. They all issue 1099s - no K-1s.

Even preferred stocks got discounted in the general downturn, sending them far below their $25.00 call values. Such was the case with the Dynagas LNG Partners LP, 8.75% Series B Fixed To Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, (DLNG.PB), which we added to the HDS+ portfolio on 12/31/18, at a deeply discounted price of $17.99. Some healthcare stocks vastly outperformed the market during the 2018 pullback - Medical Facilities Corp. (OTCPK:MFCSF), is an HDS+ portfolio holding which held up much better than the market during that dark period. Umpqua Holdings Corp. (UMPQ) is a holding in our legacy DoubleDividendStocks.com service's portfolio. We've owned many community banks through the years, and UMPQ cleared the hurdles we usually look for - a Return on Assets above 1X - (UMPQ's is 1.21X), a moderate payout ratio of 58%, and an attractive yield of ~4.77%.
