I found them a couple of weeks ago following your link and downloaded them. Now they seem to be offline since Mergent is selling etf's. Same with Morningstar. I can find their products but not the individuals who make up their lists. I can’t seem to find Mergent’s dividend lists. I found them a couple of weeks ago following your link and downloaded them.

These provide high current yield (10%). It helps boost portfolio YOC. In these two, I started 14 months ago at approx 10% YOC, now about 13% YOC. I made one time buy in both and since then have been reinvesting. I invested in such a way that reinvestment adds @1 share every month. It provides monthly compounding. <br/><br/>DT D4L,

I’d suggest taking a look at RVT and RMT which hold small and micro-caps (a rare occurence!).

Among domestic REITs, try RQI (Ben Stein recommends it). RWF for international REIT.

For international stocks look at ETO, ETG.

Foreign bonds – GIM, ESD. A good asset class, growing distributions like hell lately.

Happy researching,
Al.

These days, some of them have yields around 10% (your 2017 YOC goal) and decent track record regarding distribution stability and total return.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/>Al.
