7 Dividend Stocks Increasing Cash Payouts

Timely article for the conservative " lay low in the fox hole " investor. These are, indeed, tumultuous times. Like a few mentioned above there are slightly ( at least in my playbook ) more aggressive dividend yielders with the unique virtue of obtaining some significant cap gains. We know who those culprits are. I'll name my own gang--just about every health care REIT ( usually 7%+ and PPS gradually growing---the baby boomers are on your side, here ); the niche players who are playing aggressively at the right time---blood pouring in the streets and all that---that's PSEC and a few mentioned by other posters.

Point being, it seems that though we're climbing out of the whole slowly, WE ARE CLIMBING OUT OF IT; imo, the best time to buy equities in the right sectors like the one's I mentioned above ( that's my call---do your own DD, duh. ) Here you have both cap gains and a steady income while waiting. Last week was an over reaction based on news we already knew was baked in ( the drum beat of 10% unemployment is a mantra we've been hearing for months---why the surprise; moreover, employment is the very last data point to rise in a recovery ). Chindia and emerging economies and even good 'ol Europe is flagging their recessions are over and are showing slow to moderate growth--well, it's a lot sooner than anybody thought.

I'm done. We're all pretty much astute folks around here--you can all extrapolate on your own.
