High-yield dividend stocks Lument Finance Trust Inc. (LFT): \(17.45\%\) forward dividend yield Two Harbors Investment Corp. (TWO): \(15.92\%\) forward dividend yield AGNC Investment (AGNC): \(14.30\%\) dividend yield, but uses leverage Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund (JFR): \(11.70\%\) forward annual dividend yield Ellington Financial (EFC): \(11.35\%\) forward annual dividend yield Dow (DOW): \(6.15\%\) forward dividend yield Important considerations Risk: A high dividend yield doesn't always guarantee a safe or sustainable investment. Some companies, like AGNC, use leverage to achieve high payouts, which amplifies both gains and losses.Sustainability: Always research a company's financial health and the sustainability of its dividend. Some REITs may have unstable dividend payouts, even if they offer a high current yield. Diversification: Don't put all your money into one high-yield stock. A diversified portfolio can help reduce risk. |

Yeah, that one is pretty bad. Honestly, I can’t name a high yield or high dividend fund that doesn’t underperform long term. Most dividend ETFs underperform [in CAGR] the funds they are best compared to by around twice the difference in dividends. Yes, even if you reinvest the dividends. More or less depending on strategy. SPY vs SPYD vs SPYG SCHD vs SCHG VIG vs VTI The covered call ones don’t necessarily follow that formula, but they universally underperform the underlying. High-yield REIT ETFs also tend to bleed, at least in recent times, turning your initial investment unto a smaller one, while giving the tax man a cut of the distributions. Just sell shares when you want to squeeze money out of them. |

BCAT is a Blackrock fund of some sort that pays a 22 percent dividend, has a fairly narrow one year trading range and a PE of 9. This is not the only fund they have that pays this. I don't understand how is this possible. |

Here’s another couple pics highlighting how such a high yield is possible. You’ll note that the difference between the two TTM share price charts is 25.43%. In other words, if you have an SP500 ETF and sell shares to give yourself an annualized 26%-27% “dividend”, your account value chart would look exactly like BCAT’s share price chart. But BCAT doesn’t give you that.

There is no such thing as a free lunch and there's a good reason that funds like VTI have literally Trillions under management and funds like ULTY only have $1.4 Billion. Those ultra high yields come a tremendous cost. You may not lose money but you will severely under perform over any reasonable period of time. Take any one of those covered call strategy funds and compare their performance to the underlying assets they are based on the difference will be plain as day. |

If you dig around on yieldmax and many other firms’ websites who offer similar ultra high dividend ETFs you’ll see announcements of those ETFs being closed all the time. They pay out so much principal that they become worthless so they liquidate the assets and return the rest of your money and start over with a new fund name. |
