These are the divy stocks I own, sorted by sector (Industries may vary greatly). Positions generally range from 1K-4k with a few over 6K. About half are in a taxable account and half in a IRA. Several are recent additions. Most of these were purchased this year.

Hi Steve - My end of year (2010) list of dividend stocks & preferreds sorted by current yield (Top 40 only). Here is a list of forty stocks in my taxable portfolio (I think the portfolio has around 90 stocks) that I sorted by their dividend yield. You can see that there are preferreds as well as common stocks, dividend growers and dividend achievers. Many have been discussed on this thread. It's a moving target but I now try to replace non or low dividend payers with dividend growers. I like to weight the dividend payers as a larger percentage of the portfolio as I need the monthly/quarterly income. finance.yahoo.com The yield for the preferreds do not show up in Yahoo but MHRpC yields 10.25% and FRpK, FRpJ & BDNpC all yield 7.5%. Generally the lower the yield the better the grower. I am still trying to build the high dividend growers (positions 41-90) giving up current yield for future growth (both dividend growth & stock price growth). EKS
