Episode notes

The high yield is almost twice what you get elsewhere when you talk about some of the high quality stocks. 10 percent for me that's usually already red flag because then you're talking also about companies that need that have an earring that need to have a running shield of about 10 percent. That's really rare in the current environment here and that reduces dividend safety at the same time. If I was just buying Johnson and Johnson I don't think it would make sense in this current interest rate environment. It would take nine years just to get to five percent but if I pair Johnson and Johnson with Altria it makes total sense as a basket of companies that play different roles on the team.
