As long as high-yield dividend stocks exist, so will believers in the dividend, as well as skeptics who think the dividend is high for a reason. And as long as there are cheap stocks, there will be believers that they are values, and skeptics who think they are cheap for a reason. Our job as investors is to not be swayed by a cheap dividend stock just because it’s cheap or has a high dividend, but to assess why it is cheap and why the dividend is high — and whether it would make a good fit in our portfolio.
Of course, this depends on the type of portfolio you have. Income investors may want to dabble in higher yield plays to broaden diversification. Retirement investors may want to avoid these as being too risky. Long-term investors may want to be careful to note if there are specific risks that should encourage them to reject the stock. In some cases, high yield cheap dividend stocks may be good short-term plays because they may be affected by rising interest rates: Resource Capital Corp. (RSO), Deswell Industries (DSWL) and Gladstone Investment Corporation (GAIN).
