I have not looked at the stocks you mentioned, although I will say that KMP is on my "tradeable" list (a list I create for dividend capture based on price, volume, absolute dividend amount, and payout ratio), but I have never traded it.
If you are looking for high yields, right at the moment I think you can still dook with junk bonds. I bought some closed-end junk bond funds quite a while back, and keep looking for dips to buy more, but there aren't any! However, many of these funds are approaching real resistance and you may be able to catch a break there on any pull back. The specific ones I own are DHF, PHF, CYE, but there are many more.
It is pretty simple to do some research on junk in general just by going to google news and doing a search on "junk bonds". what I find most intresting is that evidently only institiutions have jumped into them in a big way so far, which should leave plenty more upside as individual investors get the word.
also doing well is emerging debt [I own EDF off and on]. I have done well with SGL (globvernment debt), but it is one closed-end fund that does seem to be starting a correction now - you might be able to get some yielding 10%- I have sold this one in my wife's IRA.
I have also own FAX (Asian debt) which is not so good.
other high yield is mortgage REITs, but I continue to believe that these are in a topping mode and should not be held; however, some of them look retty goodeg (IMH).
