U.S. stocks have never moved like this. Never. The highest one-year gain the S&P 500 ever reported was +45% — and that was a lifetime ago . . . in 1954. In 2007, the S&P 500 didn’t even crack the top 50, coming in 76th out of the world’s 90 major stock-market indexes. |

| The Tiny Country Where CDs Yield 12.14%
In the U.S., a nation running huge budget and trade deficits, T-bills don’t even pay you 4%. In fiscally sound Iceland, you can get more than 12% right now in an ultra-safe short-term CD. Visitthis link and I’ll show you how to capture these 12.14% interest rates in ultra-safe CDs. It will change the way you think about investing forever. |
Dividends Play a Leading Role
On top of eye-popping returns, when you venture off the U.S. exchanges you also find freakishly high yields.
While U.S. shares pay less than 2%, the average stock in New Zealand yields more than 7%! And there are dozens of Kiwi blue chips throwing off 9%, 10%, 11% and more!
Check out my chart and you’ll see how much more other markets yield. And I’m not even including a dozen other smaller markets that are also paying more than the U.S.
Poland, for example, yields an average 3.6%. Singapore yields 3.4% . . . Greece, 3.7% . . . Holland, 3.4% . . . and Taiwan, 4.1%. And remember, those are just the averages. These figures are weighed-down by a large number of stocks that don’t yield a cent.
According to Jill Evans, manager of the Alpine Dynamic Dividend Fund (ADVDX), dividend yields on foreign exchanges are currently running about double the meager average payout of roughly 1.8% among S&P 500 firms — and fatter quarterly paychecks are just the beginning.Whether it’s Brazil, Hong Kong, or Turkey, dividends send the same message in any language. Specifically, recurring dividends represent millions (or even billions) in annual payments to shareholders. And companies that can meet that obligation in both good times and bad can usually be counted on to deliver consistent cash flows.
Furthermore, dividends can also act as a built-in safety net in a falling market. As the price of a stock drops, its yield rises — thereby attracting investors. This tends to prop up dividend payers in a down market and can even set a floor on the share price.
Simply put: dividend-paying stocks can usually be trusted to deliver above-average long-term returns with less volatility than the broader market. According to renowned professor and market researcher Jeremy Siegel, the top 100 highest-yielding stocks in the S&P 500 have returned +3% more per year on average than the index as a whole.
And if dividends can make that much of a difference in our low-yield domestic environment, imagine what the generous double-digit yields commonly found overseas can do for your portfolio. These are exactly the types of stable, high-yielding foreign companies I introduce my readers to every month in my premium newsletter — High-Yield International.
It’s the only publication of its kind dedicated exclusively to finding high-yielding securities in foreign markets. In it, my mission is to show my subscribers how they can earn steady yields of 8% . . . 10% . . . even 15% or more by investing in these foreign millionaire makers.
In recent issues of High-YieldInternational,
I’ve profiled several of the most promising markets for dividend-lovers,includingAustralia, New Zealand, and Canada. In the process, I profiled several promising high-yielders, including an electric utility with a 9.6% yield, an up-and-coming mining firm with an 11.3% yield, a natural gas monopoly with a 13.0% yield, and a small, undiscovered transportation stock with an 18.5% yield, among many others.
