High-Yield Dividend Stocks You Can Trust

Personally, I'm of the opinion that selling out of dividend stocks is doomed to be an unsuccessful long-term strategy since dividend stocks historically outperform non-dividend-paying companies. Trying to time when to jump in and out of dividend stocks will likely return no better odds than randomly flipping a coin. Instead, I'd suggest that an investor's best course of action would be to locate high-quality, high-yield dividend stocks and stick with them over the long run.

Today, we'll briefly look at a handful of high-yield dividend stocks that I believe investors can trust. As always, consider this a jumping-off point for your own research instead of as a concrete signal to buy since stocks can move lower just as easily as they can move higher: AT&T (NYSE:T), Alliance Resource Partners (NASDAQ:ARLP) and Annaly Capital Management (NYSE:NLY).
