Dividend Stock Investing: Two Sectors with the Most Stable Yields

I have SVU(4% yield), GMR(19%), VZ(6.4%), and the closed-end CHY (9%)
Supervalu just raised div a penny to 70cents/yr.
General Maritime has confirmed $2/yr div. due to longterm charters(77% vessels)
Verizon div is safe for 2009, and in 2010. as long as wireless segment payment continues. Payout ratio looks safe.
Calamos is now at about a 5% premium but pays 8.5cents/month.
Yes, the 35% leverage has to be watched/considered. Riskiest of group.
good luck.
