The big problem moving forward here for dividend stocks is that the bond market is beginning to provide value and competition to equity yields. A 6 month T- bill is yielding 3.78%, which is not great, since it is well below the inflation rate. But why should investors buy a stock yielding 4%-5% when they can get a yield of close to 4% with no risk whatsoever?

Now I am sure there are CEFs yielding close to 8%-9% that have gotten absolutely devastated that could represent a buy at current levels?

I will throw one CEF out there which is yielding over 8% and is up this year without the dividend: HFRO.

Some of the 8-9% dividend yielding stocks have a chance to hold up during the next leg down. If I was moderating this thread, I would be focusing on those kind of stocks, rather than the 4-6% yielders, which have a good shot of getting creamed.
