I’m looking for stocks that pay a dividend in excess of 15% (I’ve had them as high as 24%, so I know they exist). Of course, I want this dividend to be paid from profit, instead of the business taking out a loan for it.
I am NOT INTERESTED in buying a stock with the intention of selling it. My interest is income. I want to buy the stock, and be able to retire on the dividends… with enough shares, that is.
Got any ideas?

You can enter ’stock screener’ as a web search, and you will find a number of free sites that enable you to enter your own criteria. I like Yahoo finance or Marketwatch . com
If you like, I can e-mail you a high yield protfolio that I have set up on Yahoo.

You’re considering a very risky strategy for your investments. Dividends can be volatile if a company has financial problems and need to cut them right away. This is a two edge sword. Whne the dividends are cut, investors scare and sell and the price of the stock drops like a rock.
What you should be looking for is dividend consitency and rate of growth of dividends. Telechart can screen for this and many other criteria that the investor is interested in.
Just for you, I have screened over 8000 stocks with dividends paying>10% and have been growing at an average 5 year rate of 15%. Here they are. . .

Please be aware that even if a stock paid 15% dividends, the stock price might go down 20% per year, resulting in a net loss.
