Remember Byron Allen? You know, the voluble media executive who got Paramount shareholders all juiced up when he said he wanted to buy the company from Shari Redstone for a cool $30 billion. Sounded like a great deal since Paramount’s market cap at just below $10 billion reflects the melting ice cube of much of its programming. Well, he’s nowhere to be found these days in the merger talks because no one seems to think he has the money except ­Byron ­himself. Then there was that convoluted thing offered by D ...

These three reliable dividend payers have historically high yields thanks to deep price declines.To be fair, it doesn't take a lot to offer a higher yield than the 1.3% investors are collecting today from the S&P 500 index. And yet investors looking for down-and-out stocks with high yields will still like what Realty Income (O 0.70%), Franklin Resources (BEN -1.66%), and Hormel Foods (HRL 0.68%) have to offer. But the story behind each stock is much bigger than just an attractive dividend yield.1. Realty In ...

In the past 40 years, this consumer staples stock has produced a total return, including dividends, of 14,810%. That means a $10,000 inv ...
