Dividend Yield

About the Author Dividend Yield

I am Tom Roberts. I am 36 years old and a normal guy. I am not rich, don’t drive a fancy car and I don’t have expensive tastes. I only have a passion for dividend stocks and my private wealth optimization. I don’t work for other people and don’t give any advice on buying or selling stocks. Since I started investing, I lost money, but I earned much more over a long period of time. Dividends protected my wealth and dividend growth lifted me up to new dimensions. As of today, my net worth is four-times higher after I gave up my permanent occupation. I do not search other jobs anymore; I live from dividend payments and have achieved my first goal of financial independence. My current annualized dividend income is in the five-figure region and my portfolio dividend yield is around three percent. I plan to double my investments every five to ten years. This represents a yearly return (dividends included) of 7-15 percent. Over the most recent 13 years, I realized such a return rate. Summarized, I would be happy to die with a balance in the double-digit millions, but this is a long and hard path

11 Good Yielding Dividend Growth Stocks You Don’t Want To Miss In Your Portfolio


If you are a fearful investor who scared about the ups and downs of the stock market, you must consider low volatility stocks with strong and growing cash flows.

In addition, the management team of the company should pay a solid amount of the net income back to shareholders. I talk about dividends and buybacks. Those are very shareholder friendly activities to create value for investors.

Today I like to introduce 11 dividend stocks that combine stable cash flows with high dividend yields above 3% and low stock price volatility. The stocks below reward investors each year with steady or rising dividend payments. Each of these 11 stocks has not reduced its dividend payments in over 25 years.
