Investing in stocks primarily for yield has been in a slump. It has been quite a while since the “sexy” part of the stock market focused on tickers whose best side is their high, consistent, and enduring dividend payouts.
Dividend stock investing – with the dividend as priority – may not be making a loud comeback. And I’m not even giving much mind to that “dividend growth” factor, which is really growth stocks disguised as income vehicles. I’m talking about a yield that is well above T-bill rates, but is not distributed by a company whose stock is in the process of collapsing.
