In today’s video I’m answering the following questions are the AT&T dividend cut: with what other high yield dividend stocks should I consider replacing my dividend income?

As most of you know by now, the recent announcement of the AT&T Time Warner and Discovery merger has resulted in a “readjustment” of AT&T’s proposed divided going forward. In plain English: a sneaky AT&T dividend cut.

That’s one of the major reasons why I sold my AT&T stock last week, but at the same time it means that I lost one of the few high-yielders in my portfolio.

Hence, if you were mostly in it for the high-yield like me, then you are probably thinking about what to buy instead right now 🤔

You’re not alone and that’s why in Today’s video I’m going to share with you 5 other high yield dividend stocks for your considerations.

So, get your coffee ready and enjoy today’s Sunday with eDGI ☕

Note: I am not chasing yield with these recommendations. I wouldn’t invest in high-yield dividend stocks if I would not be able to get my initial investment back. However, I do believe that high yield, low growth dividend stocks belongs in my portfolio as an element of diversification.
