Dividend stocks are a core part of many retirement portfolios. But dividend investing is at a unique point in market history, with T-bills yielding 5%. That raises the bar for “high-yield” stocks, since stocks can fall heavily in price. In this article, I toe the line between yield and stability.
Reaching for yield is a particularly risky strategy right now, even for long-term thinkers. So, I scoured the 30 stocks in the blue chip Dow Jones Industrial Average and chose four that I think are worth consideration for retirement portfolios. As of this writing, the S&P 500 yields only 1.5%, so I defined high yield as being above that level.
