CVX - 2 Stocks to Buy With Dividends Yielding More Than 3%
With the market near all-time highs and the current economic expansion ranking as one of the longest in recorded history, it's not as easy as you might hope to find a 3% yield. But if you are willing to dig a little, you can do it. Here are two that come from opposite sides of the global debate about carbon: Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) and TerraForm Power (NASDAQ: TERP). If you take a little time to understand the story here, you might actually find you like both these high-yield stocks.
Try to remember back to the last time you suffered through a blackout. It was probably related to severe weather and made you miserable. No light, possibly no heat, and if it lasted long enough you may have had to toss out all the food in your refrigerator. Even worse than all of that, you may not have been able to access the internet! That's actually not a joke, as without the internet many people can't do their jobs. That's what life is like without energy.
