4 of the Safest High-Yield Dividend Stocks on the Planet

With the stock market still trading around record levels and interest rates exceptionally low, finding yield in the current market is tough. Finding safe high-yield stocks is even more difficult. Right now, some of the highest-yielding stocks are in the mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) space; however, that sector is risky given that the Fed is going to raise interest rates and vastly reduce its purchases of mortgage-backed securities. This is because inflation is rising.

Here are some REITs that have a decent yield and are either highly safe or will benefit from the current rise in commodities and real estate. I will also mention a stock that will benefit from the planned increase in interest rates.
