The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:VOO) is a main go-to for many passive investors.

Retirement Yield Trap Or Treasure? 1 Stock To Sell, 1 To Buy

Retirement income investing and high-yields are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I could see a case for building a prudent portfolio that consists of 7%+ yielding securities. Yet, there is a merit of including lower yielding securities as well.

Correction Alert: Popular 7-14% Yields Poised For A Sharp Drop

High and sustainable yields are very popular with investors. However, some of the most popular high-yielding stocks have recently gotten overvalued. I share two that yield between 7% and 14% that are due for a sharp pullback in their stock prices.

I'm Buying Up To 10% Yields For Recurring Income

I focus on the payback period and high-yield income, highlighting Hercules Capital and VICI Properties for faster capital recoupment and strong recurring income. HTGC stands out with a 10.4% yield, first-lien senior secured loans, robust credit ratings, and a well-covered dividend. VICI offers a 5.4% yield, stable triple-net leases with blue-chip tenants, and a strong balance sheet, supporting reliable income and growth.

Big Dividend Yielders At A Glance

We all learn over time. Some of us more than others. The agency mortgage REIT price-to-book ratios are getting really high, except for the weaker ones. That doesn't make the weak ones a great bargain. Main Street Capital stands out among BDCs for superior management and NAV growth, but that valuation just refuses to come down.

EPD has strong fee-based earnings, strong balance sheet, and growth projects coming online, offering a 6.8% yield and potential for double-digit total returns. CSWC excels in the lower middle market with an internally managed structure, low expenses, and an 11% yield, supporting regular and special dividends.

Buy 7 Ideal 'Safer' May Dividends, Out Of 40 Reader Tags

My yield-based 'dogcatcher' strategy spotlights high-yield stocks whose dividends from $1,000 invested exceed their share price, favoring underdogs for income growth. Analyst targets project average net gains of 41.9% for the top ten May 2025 ReFa/Ro Dogs, with Oxford Lane Capital leading at 83.4% upside potential. All ten top ReFa/Ro Dogs currently meet my 'ideal' criteria, but caution is warranted as several have negative free cash flow margins, signaling cash-poor status.
