3 Top Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4%

Seasoned investors know that big dividend yields usually come with trade-offs. In exchange for hefty payouts, shareholders can typically expect to take on risks associated with a struggling business or to forfeit the hope of substantial earnings growth in the near future. That adds an extra layer of challenge to selecting high-yield stocks that are worth holding for the long term, but building a portfolio on the foundation of strong income generators is still one of the best ways to generate marker-beating returns.

With that in mind, we asked a panel of Motley Fool investors to profile a stock that's yielding more than 4% and has a promising outlook. Read on to see why they have identified Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), Cogent Communications Holdings (NASDAQ:CCOI), and AT&T (NYSE:T) as dividend stocks you shouldn't miss out on.
