3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks I'd Buy Right Now

What is your deciding factor when you choose a dividend stock? No doubt the factor that immediately comes to mind is the current yield – a stock yielding a high dividend is definitely attractive in terms of income potential. But buying a dividend stock based solely on its yield can be dangerous. Not all high-yield stocks are safe.

To protect ones self, the yield-seeking investors needs to look for stocks that not only offer high yields but also have strong dividend growth potential that can support those yields. That's what makes high-yield Brookfield infrastructure Partners (NYSE:BIP), Welltower Inc (NYSE:HCN), and AES Corp (NYSE:AES) such great dividend stocks.
