High Dividend Yield Stocks

When market dropped very low, it's a good time to pick up some of stocks with strong financial background, those high dividend stocks have performed well this quarter. High dividend stocks are a good way to focus in this kind of mixed and volatile global economic backdrop, especially if you are defensive player, aim for good return (say >5%) in mid to longer time horizon. Below are the stocks with at least 5% dividend yield, this is the update for my previous dividend picks, please refer to my May 10, 2012 post or click HERE.

As for me, I will focus those stocks price above 50c, mid to big caps, I separated them further into two categories, one is trust and Reits and another one group is non-trust/reits stocks, please note the dividend yield is based on estimated FY1, i.e. forecasted for next year 2013.
