3 High-Yield Stocks to Hold Forever

Dividend stocks can actually make for perfect "hold forever" investments, especially if they pay a higher yield and have given you years and years of dividend growth. If you own enough of the right ones for long enough, you may never have to sell a share, deriving enough income from the payout to more than meet your financial needs.

We asked three Motley Fool contributors who know a thing or two about high-yield stocks to help identify three that have the prospects to be "hold forever" investments, and they came back with Caretrust REIT Inc (NASDAQ:CTRE), Brookfield Renewable Partners LP (NYSE:BEP), and General Motors Company (NYSE:GM). Not only do they all meet the "high-yield" watermark, with yields ranging from 4% to 6.3% at recent prices, but they're also incredibly well-run businesses with strong balance sheets and strong competitive advantages.
