Using conventional economic thinking, an investor should move some of their money from stocks to bonds as interest rates rise because they are less risky, and the rate of return is better. So as U.S. Treasury rates hit 3%, I'm sure there are some conventional thinkers out there that will start to sell their stocks and move into bonds.
Just because it's conventional thinking doesn't mean you should follow it, though, because there are several companies out there that yield more than 3% and provide both the stability of a reliable dividend and the upside of owning a stock. We asked three of our contributing investors to each highlight a stock they see as a great investment yielding more than a 10-year Treasury bond today. Here's why they picked Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD), Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), and AES Corp. (NYSE:AES).
