The companies I selected were representative of four high yielding sectors- real estate,energy transportation,utilities and tobacco.Despite the high yields, the dividend payments seemed sustainable enough even during the financial meltdown.The average yield on the four stocks mentioned below is 6.88%.The riskiest stock of the four seems to be Realty Income,since real estate is one of the hardest hit sectors in the US. Kinder Morgan(KMP)and Con Edison(ED)are pretty much utility like investments,while Phillip Morris International (PM)should do fine in a crisis,as smokers find it tougher to quit.
