Since you asked

 
Several subscribers have asked me if I would possibly list other positions that I have and continue to own besides the ones I selected in the current portfolios.  I have now put the table together and you can certainly investigate these securities.  But remember that you must always consider your own risk tolerance.  The higher the yield, the greater the risk.  I attempted to be more cautious in the portfolios since some of my holdings can swing quickly both up and down.  Many of these positions I bought years ago at much lower prices giving me far greater yields than what we can get today.  Also, I continued to purchase some of these positions over several years even though the yields went down because I felt the growth in the share prices would more than offset the lower yield.

I have not included individual stock holdings that pay little in the way of dividends or any of the mutual funds that I hold.

As an additional note, even if some of the dividend yields appear to be rather modest, some pay out qualified dividends which are taxed at 15% while others pay out non-qualified dividends which means you pay at your tax rate.  However, if your money is held in a ROTH IRA account, this doesn't matter, if in a Traditional IRA account, all monies are tax deferred until you start your withdrawals at which time you will pay at your tax rate.

There is one thing that needs to be mentioned.  In the world that we live in today, the possibility of another 9/11 is very real.  If that should occur, it will take all the stock markets down with it.  Our share prices will go down too.  However, if history is any guide, markets have always recovered.  The dividend payouts will probably continue to be steady even if the price of the shares go down.  That would be a good time to purchase additional shares as scary as that might seem.
