Three High-Yield December Winners: 5%-7.5% Yields

Trying to figure out the latest market sentiment? As it happens, energy has been the leading sector, with a 4.74% gain, boosted by OPEC production cut agreements and lower US supplies. These stocks gained 14% to 31% over the past month, but are still below analyst price targets. They yield 5.6% to 7.5%, with good dividend coverage. We also offer two alternative trades with yields of 40% and 66% annualized.

Drilling down to individual high-yield winners over the past month brought us to these four companies. Three of them were big gainers: A Telecom/ Tech firm - Cincinnati Bell (CBB), A Basic Materials/ Chemicals company - Chemours Co. (CC), A new midstream company - Rattler Midstream LP (RTLR). The fourth company, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP (BIP), actually fell over the past month, but its 12/23/19 announcement that it was acquiring Cincinnati Bell was the catalyst for a holding of ours, Cincinnati Bell Inc., 6 3/4% Dep Shares Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (CBB.PB) to rise ~31%.
