5 High-Yield Energy Stocks to Buy

Crude oil prices have been cut in half, from over $100 a barrel this summer to roughly $50 right now. And as a result, the energy sector has taken it on the chin as a result. Just look at a recent FactSet report that indicates a 14.5% year-over-year decline in sales for the energy sector vs. a blended growth rate of 1.6% in revenue for the S&P 500 at large.

While some energy stocks have been battered, there also are a host of low-risk, long-term plays that have hung tough — and should continue to serve investors’ high yields going forward, no matter the short-term volatility in crude oil prices. I have my eye on five high-yield energy stocks right now that offer juicy dividends as well as the potential for upside in shares in the long-term. They are: Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP), Williams Partners L.P. (WPZ), NuStar Energy L.P. (NS), Enerplus Corp (USA) (ERF) and Noble Corp plc (NE).
