2 Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stocks You'll Regret Not Buying at These Prices
Oil and natural gas prices plunged during the early days of the pandemic in 2020, causing investors to run from just about all energy-related companies. Since that nadir, energy prices have rallied, leading investors to rush back into energy stocks. This type of short-term, reactionary thinking isn't new, but given the current situation in the energy market, long-term investors really need to think more strategically. That is why TotalEnergies (NYSE: TTE) and Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) are my two top dividend-paying energy investments.
One of the most important things to understand about the energy sector is that it is prone to dramatic, and often swift, price swings. Oil and natural gas are commodities and they are economically sensitive, so the big swings over the past few years are, perhaps, eye-catching -- but they are hardly unusual. You, and the companies you invest in, need to be prepared for this kind of cyclical performance.
