Please don't just look at the dividend yield without analyzing the sustainability of the company's dividend.

For example, CenturyLink Telephone recently had a dividend yield of over 8%. It was a dividend darling for many until last month when it announced it was cutting its dividend by 26%.

Look at the payout ratio (too high a ratio might indicate the dividend is in danger) and the company's history of raising its dividend.

Someone above mentioned Coca-Cola (KO) and ExxonMobil (XOM). Neither of those companies are paying really high dividends but both of them have raised their dividend every year for decades.

ETA: Full disclosure...I own both KO and XOM and have for many years.

Up until last week, CenturyLink was one of those dividend darlings like KO and XOM, they had raised their dividend rate every year for something like 30 years. Last weeks dividend cut was quite a shock. But CTL is still paying a very good dividend, somewhere in the 7% neighborhood. And, it's a Louisiana based nationwide company.
Another high dividend payer is A.T.&T. (T) Pays around 5%

While that may be true, the continued high dividend yield is a result of the more than 22% drop in CTL's stock price on February 14.

Just wait until they are paying dividends with Bitcoins! Then you'll see some big payouts....

It also has a payout ratio of 117% which means it is paying out more in dividends than it is earning in net profit resulting in the company paying dividends out of equity capital rather than current earnings.

How long do you think THAT can continue?

What's the board's thoughts on PGH?

Looks like a decent dividend (as the OP is requesting) and they released their 2012 numbers and it seems they exceeded the expecatations.

By "exceeded expectations" do you mean they didn't lose as much as everyone thought they were going to lose?

They cut their dividend in half last summer and again in December.

They were downgraded to 'sell' in November by TheStreet Ratings.

The company's current cash flow is less than its currently projected dividend payout, even after the dividend cuts last year.

There's a reason they are a penny stock.....

ETR: 5.3%
LMT: 5.2%
MO: 5.2%

MO cut their dividend back in 2008 but it has been going up nicely since.

Linn, BBEP, QRE, LRE -- good dividends, but as said above, will they last?
