\"\"<\/a>Readers of this space know that the primary focus of my income portfolio is to create ever-increasing income by investing\u00a0in dividend growth securities.\u00a0 This means that often I will choose a lower yielding security with better dividend growth <\/strong><\/a>prospects over a higher yielding security. However, as one that values diversity, I also invest in some high yield securities. Here are some of the better performers, along with my life-to-date return:<\/p>\n
