High-yield dividend stocks are always popular, especially among retirees, since they can provide steady income streams. But they look especially attractive when the market is down since the companies behind them are typically established and secure, and shareholders can usually count on the payments even when stock prices are tanking.
The stocks with the highest dividend yields don't necessarily make for the best assets to own, however, since those yields may reflect risks attached to their businesses, payouts, and share prices. But there are many excellent, safe stocks with high yields -- among them, Prudential Financial (PRU), Realty Income (O), and Kimberly Clark (KMB).
