Are These Low-Stress, High-Yield Dividend Stocks Flying Under Your Radar?
Income investors love big dividends, but what they crave most are reliable dividends. After all, what good is a juicy payout that quickly disappears? For this reason, bank stocks have long seemed suspect to many seeking passive income. From the global financial crisis to this year's wave of bank failures, these stocks have gained an unreliable reputation.
But what if I told you there is a group of bank stocks paying industry-leading dividends that have proven resilient over the past two decades? These stocks combine blue-chip stability with high yields, and all you need to do is look north of the border. That's right -- Canadian banks can be your ticket to low-stress dividend income.
