These Stocks Yield 7.4%, But I Doubt You’ve Heard Of Them
#-ad_banner-#Let’s have a little fun…
Can you name all of the Hall of Fame players from the 1927 New York Yankees?
Unless you’re a die-hard Yankees fan, or a lover of baseball history, chances are probably not.
Yet the ’27 Yankees are widely considered the greatest team in baseball history. They were even dubbed “Murderers’ Row” because of how terrifying their lineup was to opposing teams.
Now, if you are a baseball fan, I bet you could name a couple members of this team. Babe Ruth… Lou Gehrig… But what many people tend to forget is that they also shared the team with four other Hall of Fame players.
I’m talking about guys like Tony Lazzeri and Waite Hoyt. These names don’t come up in conversations among casual fans today, but make no mistake: without them the 1927 Yankees would’ve been nothing more than an average team with a few good players.
Now think about how this ties in with investing, especially in terms of building your portfolio.
Finding mouthwatering yields is great. But you should also be on the lookout for fantastic, dominant companies you can own for the long haul.
If there were a Hall of Fame for stocks, you could probably name a few worthy candidates from the past decade or so. You’ve got stocks like Google and Apple, of course, which have soared hundreds of percent.
Those are the obvious Hall of Famers… the Babe Ruths and Lou Gehrigs of stocks, if you will. But there are also a select few companies that deliver consistent gains year in and year out — the unsung Hall of Famers — that make shareholders who own them for the long-haul a pile of money.
That’s exactly what I’ve found.
You see, I specialize at finding income opportunities — the kind you’re not likely to hear about anywhere else — and ones that typically hold up well in any market environment.
And after spending countless hours of research month after month in preparation for each issue of my premium newsletter, High-Yield Investing, I began to notice something…
There is a small handful of income stocks that consistently beat the market year after year. These aren’t just “good” investments — the stocks I’ve found are among the best performing, most shareholder-friendly stocks on the planet.
That’s why I call them the “High-Yield Hall of Fame.”
And there are three basic reasons why every investor should own these High-Yield Hall of Famers.
For one, they’re winners — they crush even the market’s most elite group of dividend-paying companies (you can read more about this in my latest report).
In a side-by-side comparison, these Hall of Fame stocks boast an average yield nearly three-times bigger than the Dividend Aristocrats (7.4% compared to a meager 2.5%).
And while the Aristocrats have returned 203% during the past decade, my unsung Hall of Fame stocks have returned 304% in the same time.
These stocks also outperform in any market. Even during the market crash between 2007 and 2009, they not only beat the market by nearly 30 percentage points, but not a single one of them missed a dividend payment during that time. In fact, some even increased their dividends.
As you can see in the chart below, these Hall of Famers actually earned an average of 10% during the recession, and hit their pre-recession levels years before the market got back on track.
Finally, these stocks have dominant competitive advantages. Each one has a certain “X-Factor” that offers them huge upside and a way to fend off rival firms.
Whether it’s a mega-trend the company is uniquely equipped to profit from, or an unrivaled client list made up of the country’s wealthiest tenants — these firms boast amazing advantages that will keep them doling out huge, and growing, income streams for years to come.
One of these companies for example is about to benefit from one of the biggest, and most profitable, trends in American history. Yet very few people have ever even heard of this firm.
This is just a taste of the data I found after doing months of research on these little-known stocks. And I just released my inaugural list of High-Yield Hall of Fame members this past week.
