3 Shares Yielding Over 9%

We've got three shares where big yields are offset by one flaw or another. I recently closed out my position in one of these shares for a gain of more than 40%. Great choice about 17 months ago. Not as great today. I'll include an alternative from my portfolio that still offers an attractive yield for investors.

The next catalysts to price movement are earnings on November 5th, a Fed rate cut, and an ex-dividend date in December.

The High Yield Desert

I frequently discuss high-yield sectors like mortgage REITs, BDCs, and preferred shares, emphasizing the importance of knowing when not to buy. Preferred shares have rallied above targets, reducing buying opportunities, while common shares offer higher risks. Some offer upside, but others mostly offer downside. I'll kick off the weekend by highlighting one with a high valuation, as investors pay top dollar for earnings that are about to melt away.
