I would think that there might be more responses if we had a set definition of high, and stated if it's based on today's prices. If I bought the stock in 1981 and it's paying 3X today what I paid for it in annual dividends, is it really high paying if the current rate is around 5.4%, etc.

Those dividends are high for a reason. Just like the high yields vs credit quality on the debt. Government debt, corporate debt, consumer debt.

I own some Main Street Capital Corporation (MAIN) because of a recommendation from a reader of this site. I honestly don't really understand what they do, but it pays better than 6%.

Just ARLP... Bought more last week on the dip. Was considering ATT but took Rin's comments to heart about how Tech tends to drop fastest in a downturn and perhaps the debt is too high which also breaks his divy rule. I think it's %25 of earnings with a 7% divy. Still considering buying a bit though with 5G right around the corner.

Wait! Rin Wah Law was only suppose to apply to the world of bonking hoes (or sex robots once the technology matures).
I never expected it to be used for finance.

I sold it in March of this year for just about the same as I paid in 2016. Was not a very good stock, though I got a couple of decent dividends.

I’d be careful with ARLP, I unloaded at $20 and it’s been in free fall despite the dividend.

I don't own much and have been trading in and out of it for the past 2 years while picking up dividends and 1-3% gains here and there. It's only recently that I've gone into the red. I think energy in general is not looking good in the near future.

Altria has been beaten down due to the negative sentiment related to vaping. Their revenue seems poised to grow from Juul and their new fda approved iqos product. Once people realize those that were dying were inhaling black market products, it should recover and still payoutbits current 8.5 percent dividend

None. The market still has good legs and I expect select (profitable or soon profitable) small caps to continue to outperform til I see recession signs.

I believe this is around the level that Ducky bought in at. As always, these are distributions (not dividends) and one of the reasons why MLPs can be tax efficient in trusts. Has anyone ever tangled with a K-1 while doing their own taxes? It's one of the reasons I've been reticent to buy outside of a retirement account.

AFAIK you don't have to do anything for the K-1 until you take a distribution. Just keep it for your records every year. Doesn't seem to be too hard.

btw. I hope nobody got stuck with or jumped into the pot mania. Too lazy to bring out the old thread but I cautioned against those heavily, most of them are down to 1/4 - 1/10 of former values. Crazy! lol tlry at $20... Weed was a big trap, too much productions and yuge margin pressure coming, probably also consolidation, so at least there may be a few buyouts/mergers.

The cheerleaders of pot stocks (and bitcoins) have completely disappeared from the site. It's awfully quiet compared to all the noise they were making not so long ago.

Ah yes forgot bitcoin as well. Not much hype left there either after libra was abandoned, still probably better than pot stocks, but way too volatile anyways.

Yeah, no big deal.
Uh, it's the reason I bought OUTSIDE my retirement account. Just used a stray brokerage account that was sitting around gathering dust. I don't think you want to buy a K-1 producing stock like ARLP using a roth anyway.

Just to be clear, outside of a retirement account, you MUST track the basis of your MLP share as once it hits zero you pay taxes at capital gains rates on distributions.

IMO buying that stock is more like gambling investing. I can speculate that Altria is going to get blamed and sued anyway, since that is all about the money.

You could always try Phillip Morris (PM). Relatively steady company with 5% dividend.

Altria now up 20% and still yielding 6%. Buying that dip was a home run.

Oxy buffet stock 8.5%
Oxydental petroleum. Issue I see is that it has pe of 28. But buffet bought 10 billion worth. It is historically low in price.

what are your thoughts guys on ATT and Verizon?
I'm looking for safe options mostly, that still have dividents.

I've been into ATT since 30, it's returning a great dividend.
I also like Johnson and Johnson.

Kinda wishing I had picked up a couple of share when it was below $3. Hopefully the Duck Trust weathered the storm...
ARLP almost at $20 again.

Ya, I recall seeing it around 4 or 5 and considered buying, but didnt.
I did recently buy some calls on it. So far doing pretty good, but didn't really buy a whole lot.

Yep, growing a weed, literally. Grows faster, easier, in more places than basil or chives.

I think I still have some of this. Did IWOG recommend this? I haven't checked in a year or two that account. That was around 2017 I think before he jumped ship. This is why I don't do individual picks usually. I'm too lazy to track and/or freak out if it goes down. I could have $40k sitting there and I wouldn't know.

Although the stock performance has been unimpressive, the 12% dividend has attracted many.
What high dividend stocks are you invested in currently? Looking for some ideas to add to my portfolio.
