For 5 better dividend plays, a look at some utilities may be in order. All those listed are interesting but at some risk perhaps not worth taking. Why get into the whims of medicine, telecoms, etc (although I own T) when solid predictable electric utilities pay the same or better at lower risk. Suggest ED and CNP who are strictly power distributors and not generators. For broad electrics, look at D, DUK, PPL, XEL, etc.

Until economy shows steady recovery, best to ignore dividends and move over to bonds in these or similar companies. In both cases, as interest rates climb (a certainty), stock and bond prices drop. Unlike stocks, however, bonds will recover value at maturity. There are plenty of BBB and up rated bonds paying 5 - 6 1/2 % interest with 18 - 24 months maturity

Simply, their business is drying up. Too much construction base. Electric rates heading up; major cost factor. Bottom line - declining business coupled with rising costs.
