AT&T - High Yield Isn't A Warning Sign, Ignore COVID-19 Fears
Investors remain concerned about AT&T's financial position, however, AT&T's financial position is very manageable. The company's debt and dividend are both comfortably handled.
The company financially is very strong. Even with a 1-year COVID-19 delay scenario, shareholder rewards should be significant. In a 2008 scenario, the company rebounded in 1-year.
I recommend investing in AT&T as a long-term position given its current respectable and sustainable dividend yield.
AT&T (NYSE: T) is one of the largest conglomerates in the world with a market capitalization of more than $200 billion and a dividend of more than 7%. The company was my top pick for 2019, beating the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA: SPY) by 50%. Recently, a Seeking Alpha article was published... more

Johnson & Johnson: A Safe Dividend Pick
Johnson & Johnson is an attractive pick at discounted valuations.
The company has multiple promising assets in its portfolio.
Investors should consider risks such as litigation risks, competitive pressures, and generic erosion of established brands.
Pharmaceutical and biotech stocks seem to have emerged as market saviors in these times of uncertainty. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is one such company which seems all too well suited to face the current bear market.
This diversified healthcare conglomerate has a presence in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer healthcare segments. Since all these business segments are relatively recession-proof, Johnson & Johnson can prove to be a very attractive investment opportunity in current times.

Energy Transfer Partners: Surging Bond Yields Create A Risk To Their Distributions
The last month has been shocking for the unitholders of Energy Transfer Partners, whose plunging unit price has pushed their distribution yield to a once unthinkable 25%.
Naturally this indicates that the market does not believe that it will be sustained much further into the future.
Given their history of tapping debt markets to fund a portion of their operations, this article explores the costs continuing this strategy and their ability to self fund during 2020.
It appears that unless their bond yields decrease fairly soon, they will be forced to either reduce their capital expenditure further than recently suggested or reduce their distributions.
I believe that fundamentally they have the ability to sustain these distributions during normal financial market conditions and... more

EPR Properties: What Investors Need To Know About Its Massive Dividend Yield
EPR Properties experiential real estate is ground central for being closed during the COVID-19 crisis.
As a result the stock has plummeted over 75% over the last few weeks.
What seems to be missed however is just how well the firm was prepared going into this, with a fortress balance sheet and plenty of cash on hand.
Article Thesis
When a stock yields well above 20%, it makes sense to ask whether that really is sustainable. Right now, EPR Properties' (EPR) stock yields a whopping 27%, following a share price plunge of 77% from its 52-week high.
We think that there is a high likelihood of a dividend cut, although we still believe that EPR Properties is a solid long-term investment at the current price. A dividend cut and some near-term trouble should be more than offset by... more
