Investors love dividends. They like them for their potential to beat the market. They like them for the income they provide. Some even like them because of their perceived safety. But the reality of all of those things is a little bit different than the common perception. When you look at each of the benefits that buying high yield stocks provides, you will typically find that there is a better way to accomplish that same thing using an alternative approach. 
In this episode, we look at the realities of investing in dividend paying stocks and how that differs from what many investors believe. 
We hope you enjoy the discussion.
