7 High-Yield Dividend Stocks That Are Actually Safe

There are reasonably safe places to find yield, however, even in this market. That doesn’t mean they’re perfectly safe — there’s no such thing as a free lunch — but for investors looking to drive income with the modest addition of risk, we have a few candidate.

(NASDAQ:MAT) are at a 52-week low. Macquarie Infrastructure Corp (NYSE:MIC) owns a number of businesses focusing on U.S. infrastructure (hence the name).
