2 Stocks to Buy With Dividends Yielding More Than 5%

As an income investor, you're probably allured by high-yield dividend stocks. There's nothing wrong with that, except that the stock picks would be better poised to make you money if those high yields are backed by steadily growing earnings and dividends.

Trust me, there are several such gems hidden in the market today; some offer yields as high as 5% or more and are well-poised to continue doing so for years to come. Two such stocks that I'd urge you to look at are Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) and Welltower Inc. (NYSE:WELL). Note that Welltower is about to change its stock ticker from HCN to WELL, effective Feb. 28.
