Should You Scoop Up These 10 Highest-Yielding Dividend Stocks of 2021?

While overall interest rates may still be near their record lows, income-seeking investors aren't completely out of luck. There are still plenty of high-yielding dividend stocks to step into, even if their yields are high because those stocks have lost ground in 2021.

The question is, should you be buying any dividend stocks in the current environment solely because their yields are relatively solid? Imminent rate hikes only make the matter trickier, as dividend stocks' yields are adjusted to higher rates with lower prices. Indeed, many dividend-paying stocks are in the red this year because the market is anticipating interest rate increases.

The answer to the question is a definite "maybe."
