The 2022 bear market hit high-yield stocks (except for energy stocks) hard, and my subs sent me many questions about the status of their investments. One stock in particular moved relentlessly down, making investors wonder if the company’s big dividend was safe. Last week, the patience paid off, and investors who averaged down are back to even, with a 25% lower share price. Let’s take a look at how this approach really pays off for dividend investors…

It offers investors a way to get energy income without the hassle of a Schedule K-1.

It’s one of the best covered call ETFs on the market.

This “fund of funds” pays monthly and offers an interesting and appealing high-yield opportunity.

In general, buying companies like these makes a lot of sense in the current market environment.
