2 Stocks to Buy With Dividends Yielding More Than 6%

Yield signs can often be stop signs for investors. If a payout seems too good to be true, there's a strong possibility that your initial instinct to be cautious is the right call. I realize that this is the last thing you want to hear in clicking on an article about promising stocks yielding 6% or better, but it's important that we all know this going in.

We live in a world of stock screens and open access to information. If a stock has a high yield in this environment of low interest rates, there will be trade-offs when it comes to risk. Altria (NYSE: MO) and B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS) are two names dangling juicy yields of 6.9% and 6.5%, respectively. They're not perfect, but they seem to be some of the best bets among investments packing payouts that high.
