The 10 Best High-Yield Stocks to Buy Now

Look far, far beyond the bond market, especially if you’re looking for truly high yield. Whether it’s individual equities, ETFs or even a couple other alternatives, the market is stuffed with high-yield stocks — some out in the open, others that take a bit of digging, all of which deliver between 5% to nearly 12% in dividends. Here’s a look at all 10 dividend payers, suiting a number of different risk profiles, and some of which are being considered for my new stock advisory newsletter, The Liberty Portfolio. In no particular order...

City Office REIT Inc (NYSE:CIO) is actually smaller than most real estate investment trusts that I would get involved in. Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (NYSE:AHT) is a longtime personal holding of mine in the world of high-yield stocks. There’s another way to play AHT and many other REITs — preferred stock. While we are on the subject of hotel REIT preferreds, look at Summit Hotel Properties Inc’s (NYSE:INN) 7.125% Cumulative Preferred Series C. That’s why I prefer to go with a basket of stocks for BDCs — to reduce the risk associated with buying just one. The ETRACS Linked to the Wells Fargo Business Development Company Index ETN (NYSEARCA:BDCS). Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (NYSE:AOD), a CEF, is a bit different than most high-yield stocks and funds. Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:STWD) belongs to that category of REITs known as mortgage REITs (mREITs).Carl Icahn is always in the news, and it may surprise you to know that you can invest right alongside him, in Icahn Enterprises LP (NASDAQ:IEP). AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is not what most people would consider a growth stock. We have one oddball here in the universe of high-yield stocks. Qwest Corp. 7.5% Senior Notes (NYSE:CTW).
