Almost everyone loves a company that pays strong dividends. Receiving a quarterly check for owning a stock, especially one yielding 4%, 5%, or even 10% annually, seems ideal. But in a world where 10-year treasuries yield 3%-4%, the market rarely offers a free lunch.
High-yield stocks can be attractive, but they often signal danger. The company's dividend might stop growing, or worse, be cut, reducing your income and the stock's value.
5% plus yields might seem like an easy way to boost investment income, but they can be traps. This report highlights 20 stocks paying unsustainably high dividends, with payouts exceeding 100% of their earnings, indicating these yields likely won't last.
