What are some less risk with good dividend yield (maybe 5%) stocks or ETFs? Some of them I think are ETF - DVY Stocks - T, VZ
MVT: 4.7% and interest income exempt from taxes
High expense ratio
IRM
High dividend yield usually means investors donโt think it is sustainable.
Yes, that's why I'm not looking at very high yielding like 10 or 12% stocks and ETFs but only looking at 5% or 4% yield.

IBM, O, ATT, Ford Moderate yield Cisco , Waste Management , Federal realty trust, any other dividend aristocrat. ETFs VNQ, SPLV SPHD VPU I think a growing dividend and low payout ratio is a bit more important than yield. Individual dividend stocks run the risk of cutting very low overall returns compared to growth stocks. When there is a crash, scoop up growth stocks with growing dividend for a good yield. You will have an amazing yield when the market recovers!!
Cvs, way undervalued right now. Amzn threat yada yada yada.
