3 Top Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 5%
It's no secret that high-yield stocks, on average, outperform the rest of the market. Not only that, but they're also usually less volatile. And with stock market volatility on the rise, adding some ballast to your portfolio may not be a bad idea.
With that in mind, we asked three of our Motley Fool contributors what high-yielding stocks they'd recommend. They came back with Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD), Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW), and AT&T (NYSE: T). Each of these investments is structured differently, but all currently yield more than 5%. Here's why our contributors think these top yielders will help your portfolio outperform, even in the current market environment.
