I initially set up my dividend portfolio with MLP's and Telecom for the high yields. I used those dividends to buy some of the lower yielding, but higher dividend growth stocks like:

CL - 2.6% yield is a little low but has a 5 year 12.87% compounded annual growth rate, has raised dividends for 47 consecutive years and only has a 46% payout ratio. Steady and reliable.

CLX - 3.9% yield, 5 yr CAGR of 18.53%, has raised dividends for 33 consecutive years and has a 50% payout ratio. I'm surprised I missed this one early on.

GIS - 2.9% yield, 5 yr CAGR 9.81%, has raised dividends for 6 consecutive years. They held them steady for a couple of years and then started growing them again. Has a 44% payout ratio.

I've added a couple more utilities as well. D has been by far, my best performer of the utilities I own. I've added SO and NST.

Have you considered MO or PM?

MO has a 6.2% yield with a 5 yr CAGR of 15.66%. They have raised dividends twice this year. They aren't on any of the lists for consecutive years of paying dividends because of their spin offs of KFT and PM. They said they are going to maintain an 80% payout ratio. They are committed to the share owners.

I wouldn't mind another Muni CEF like NMO. NMO has been as steady as you can get and even has a little price appreciation thrown in. I like the monthly dividends as well. A 6.3% yield for those who are interested.

I want another REIT too. I'm leaning towards HCP but am considering HCN as well.
