Better Income Stock: Pfizer or Altria Group?
High-yield dividend stocks often catch investors' attention -- and for good reason. When established companies maintain larger-than-average dividend payments, they can provide both substantial current income and the potential for long-term appreciation.

Other times, they signal legitimate concerns about a company's ability to maintain its dividend payments in the face of deteriorating business conditions.
