These 4 Dividend Stocks Yield Over 5%. Here's Why I Bought Them
Over the past several years, I've become more interested in dividend stocks -- more specifically, stocks that both pay a strong yield and have solid prospects for increasing their payouts. High-yield dividend growth stocks, if you will.
Over that time, I've bought shares of beaten-up telecom giant Centurylink Inc (NYSE: CTL), integrated oil and gas giant Royal Dutch Shell plc (ADR) (NYSE: RDS-B), energy midstream leader ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE), and utility-scale solar farm owner 8Point3 Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ: CAFD). All of these companies still pay dividends yielding over 5% at recent prices.
