3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks I'd Buy Right Now

Dividend stocks are the kind of investments that fit my investment style. There is something reassuring about those quarterly checks padding my portfolio that are completely independent of a stock's share price, and reinvesting dividends over decades is probably one of the most powerful tools we as individual investors have for building wealth Opens a New Window. To be an effective dividend stock investor, you have to buy companies you can hold for a long time and reasonably expect them to increase payouts.

It's even better when you can buy them at a time when they have high yields. That's why three stocks -- integrated oil and gas giant Total (NYSE: TOT), nitrogen fertilizer manufacturer Terra Nitrogen Partners (NYSE: TNH), and telecommunications giant Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) -- are high on my list of dividend stocks I would buy.
