  • Hi, My name is Aaron and Im with Dividend Stocks
    Research, today were reviewing our recently
    published article

  • High Yield Dividend Stocks For Safety

6
  • On a mild Saturday night a few weeks back,I went
    with a good friend to Donovans on Prospect
    Street in LaJolla. What a terrific place, one of
    those classic American steakhouses we cant seem
    to get enough of.

7
  • It got me thinking about the strange similarities
    shared by steaks and stocks. A steak that costs
    more than 50 bucks strikes me as a bit over the
    top. So does a dividend stock with a 10 yield.
    A little rich for my blood.

8
  • So let me ask you a few questions. How high is
    too high? What do you think high yield is? A
    dividend stock that pays more than 5? More than
    10?

9
  • Can we split the difference and agree on 7.5? If
    not, lets talk it over at Donovans. (And hope
    that somebody else picks up the tab.) Well have
    a great steak, maybe a few cocktails, and look at
    dividend stocks for safety.

10
  • The Tender Trap Of High Yield Dividend Stocks

11
  • Earlier this year, before the markets were
    roughed up, my associate Michael Jennings looked
    ahead, didnt like what he saw, and revealed the
    best dividend growth stocks for uncertain times.

12
  • Good advice then, and good advice now. Chasing
    high yield never seems to work out. Its always
    smarter to take the lower yield and latch onto a
    stock that will keep growing its dividends year
    after year.

13
  • Thats the safe move. But even when you find a
    dividend stock in a good position to keep growing
    the dividend, you can hit some rugged headwinds.
    You can feel like the guy at the steakhouse whos
    handed a bill he wasnt quite expecting.

14
  • Investors in one of the top pharmaceutical stocks
    felt like this a few weeks ago when Eli Lilly
    LLY shares sank 7.8 in just one day. Were not
    talking about a wild, speculative microcap.

15
  • Lilly has been in business since 1876. Its been
    a decent dividend stock for years. The dividend
    has been growing steadily. Ten years ago, the
    quarterly dividend was 0.38. Now its 0.50.

16
  • Not spectacular, but steady. And there hasnt
    been a dividend cut since 1996. Why isnt Eli
    Lilly feeling well? What sent the stock into
    cardiac arrest earlier this month?

17
  • The company was exposed as a one trick pony. It
    wasnt diversified enough to protect against a
    setback.

18
  • If You Want Dividends To Grow, Dont Put All Your
    Eggs In One Basket

19
  • On October 12, word came out that Lilly was
    pulling the plug on an experimental heart drug.
    In a matter of hours, the value of the company
    plunged by 7 billion.

20
  • Investors took a terrible hit when Lilly stock
    plunged from 86.35 to 76.35 in one dismal day.
    Investors looking for dividend growth from Lilly
    are on hold, not exactly thrilled with the 90
    million

21
  • pretax charge for shutting down development of
    its evacetrapib drug. The key is diversification.
    Lilly hasnt been actively acquiring other
    companies.

22
  • Its not exactly a poster child for expanding its
    lineup of products . The product development
    pipeline isnt nearly as full as it should be
    with new drugs.
  • Is the dividend safe?

23
  • Tough to say, but dividend growth is probably at
    risk. When you cant see how revenues will grow,
    you cant see how dividends will grow. Its like
    the line from the old Sinatra tune, Love And
    Marriage.

24
  • You cant have one without the other. So when
    youre looking for the best dividend stocks to
    give you some safety, look at how well the
    company is diversified. Dont ride the one trick
    ponies.

25
  • But dont go overboard. A drug company that
    makes luggage probably isnt going to do well.
    Conglomerates have a way of flaming out. (The
    exception, of course, is Warren Buffets
    Berkshire Hathaway.)

26
  • Look for a company that sticks to a business it
    knows, makes smart acquisitions, and introduces
    complimentary new products. Want another way to
    find the best high yield dividend stocks for
    safety?

27
  • Stay Away From The Dividend Whipsaw

28
  • High yield dividend stocks come and go.
  • You and I can go find dozens of stocks that pay a
    double-digit yield. Its easier than finding a
    steakhouse.

29
  • And heres something else that comes and goes.
    The size of the dividend payment. Some companies
    dont worry about dividends that rise and fall.

30
  • Its the nature of the beast, because the size of
    the dividend payment reflects the fortunes of the
    company. Consistency isnt important to this kind
    of company. Its built to do something else.

31
  • Want an example? One of the big name, high yield
    dividend stocks right now is The Blackstone Group
    BX. Blackstone pays a yield of 8.92.

32
  • Its an investment banking firm that owns an
    intriguing collection of assets. Blackstone is
    the worlds 1 alternative investment firm. It
    focuses on private equity, hedge funds, mergers
    and acquisitions, and private placements.

33
  • A bunch of complicated financial stuff most of us
    will never completely understand. But it does own
    some meat and potatoes assets, including Motel 6.

34
  • Should you buy Blackstone stock if youre looking
    for some safety with a high yield?

35
  • If you dont mind dividends rising and falling
    like the fortunes of the Dallas Cowboys, sure.
    Just dont invest in Blackstone if you want a
    consistent yield. Last year, it cut the
    quarterly dividend from 0.55 to 0.44.

36
  • Fortunately for investors, the dividend went back
    up. It paid an 0.89 dividend in May. Then, in
    September, it was back down to 0.74. Is now a
    good time to buy Blackstone?

37
  • Check out this chart, and youll see that like a
    lot of other stocks, Blackstone has come off its
    recent highs...

39
  • One other thing to keep in mind with
    Blackstone... If it runs into some financial
    headwinds, its got plenty of assets to sell
    especially real estate assets - to keep the
    balance sheet clean.

  • Your Safe Approach To High Yield Dividend Stocks

41
  • There you go. Two ways to lower your risk when
    youre looking at the best dividend stocks for
    high yield. Be careful when a company puts too
    many eggs in one basket.

42
  • And if youre looking for income you can count
    on, make sure the dividend payments are
    consistent. High yield dividend stocks have a way
    of drifting in and out like trendy restaurants.
