Dividend Stocks

With the stock market going crazy right now are dividend stocks the way to go? ET is paying 9.5% and ENB is at 7.1%. I dont pay enough attention to trade stuff everyday. Looking to put my bonus money in and have steady growth for the next 5-10 years.

Just make sure the dividend appears to be safe.
I don't follow either of the stocks you mentioned but just a quick glance at both of them using Yahoo finance shows they both are paying out more in dividends/share than they are earning in profits/share.
If that's a temporary situation, then there's no problem. But a company generally can't continue to pay out more in dividends than it's earning long term.

Many stocks or funds yielding dividends is great but what you need to understand is even if they do not fluctuate much price wise the more shares you buy in the more you could be down or up even with a small price fluctuation. it works both ways. however you get more shares when it is down if you keep reinvesting dividends.

I'd stick to the following sectors, but that's just me...
Telecom
T
VZ
CTL (but how sustainable can 14% be?)
Utilities
SO
DUKE
Finance
JPM
BNS
BOH (love this bank)
BX 9%
Consumer Staples
MO, PM, BTI
PG
GIS, KHC, KO
F
Reits
O, CIM
LAMR (there are dozens more)
(I don't trust energy dividends anymore)
Only the majors, and even still...

T and MO yields are ridiculous at this point.
MO will have to slow down their increases with their recent investments and may have overpaid for both, but we will see.

The dividend aristocrats are always a solid bet as long as you're diversifying properly

XOM @ 4.5%
Posted on 12/21/18 at 2:10 pm to bayoubengals88
My custom dividend fund is-
T
SO
F
XOM
And I just doubled down on T.
Looking at doubling down on F again too, but waiting for another true recession.

NMFC
MRCC
TGE
All are profitable, have heavy insider buying, and dividends between 7-11%.

I would add KO to the list. Coca Cola is dividend king.

Dividend stocks are ALWAYS the way to go.

Yep, as a practical matter you are always buying more.
as others provided a list these are my current choices
SO
XOM
VZ
ADM
J&J
PG
COP
F (recent purchase)
BX
BAC (yesterday)
AGM (yesterday)
Those comprise the buy and hold forever part of my portfolio.
Looking hard at WELL and HCP as they pay excellent dividends in a segment that is pretty certain to make money and I have no exposure there.
There are some very nice discounts out there on dividend stocks that are getting beaten up for no good reason and I plan to spend the next few weeks picking a few cherries.

As long as they are not borrowing money just to pay dividends then ??

I’m thinking of adding T, F, and BX for some dividend stocks but that CTL yield is making me look it’s way instead of T.. Thoughts?

So how do you go about setting this up and investing in these companies?

How secure is the dividend is my concern.

No clue

Personally I have a good amount of money in the Vanguard high dividend yield index fund.
