Buy These 9 High-Yield Dividend Stocks

High-yield dividend stocks can provide a hedge against declines due to their substantial income potential.

After all, being able to hold onto a stock and earn respectable returns each year without having to worry about when to sell or how much of a loss you might lock in when you do can be very reassuring.
