5 Best Utility Stocks to Buy for Dividends

High dividend yields and safety with these best utility stocks for 2021! The market is at all-time highs and that’s exactly when you need to be thinking about protecting from the downside risks.

These utility stocks will not only give you the opportunity to benefit from upside price appreciation but protect you from a stock crash and pay you to invest!

Stocks in the utility sector are some of the best value stocks right now and offer a dividend yield twice the market average. They’ll protect you from a stock market crash and keep climbing if the economy grows. Best yet, the five utility stocks I’m watching offer a dividend yield almost three-times higher than the market and have upside potential for double-digit returns.

Huge gain on your recommd CVS, sold the day before its recent drop. Finally got signed up on your portfolio. Thanks for your continued vids.

What do you think about SPKE? Surely small with just a 340M MC and 1.15 EPS, but with 7.67% Dividend and 12% Return on assets. Not seeing the potential? Greetings from The Netherlands!

My father worked for Con Ed for 44 years and my Grandfather worked for them for 40 years. Wasn't what i wanted to do but it's a good company with good dividends that they have proven to grow over time.
I have also own SO and have for years and add to the position as i can, it's got it's problems with the new Vogtle plant but it's getting to the end of that and it's a very strong dividend payer. Both of these companies are solid picks in my opinion as well for those looking to build a dividend portfolio.

Joe, love the channel. I purchased BP shares at 14, sold some at 20 today, as I like the blend of alternative energy plan while reducing exposure to OG petro. Yield, if sustainable, is attractive.

Great picks Joseph. I have had 3 of them in my retirement account for many years.

[therebels]

Nice channel man appreciate the advice

[jfitz]

Another good stock is ET, very nice dividend pay out. I also like SPKE 👍💡

[chrislindsay]

Joseph, can you pls do a video about BCH BitCoinCash? I need to know if I should buy some because BCH is accepted as payment for large purchases in places like sellers of gold bullion. Thanks! BTW I've been an investor in PPL and DUK for some time now.

[gordonlillich]

Joe, do you have any etf that covers your recommend dividend stocks ??

[joelchaky]

I have an options question please. I am working the wheel options strategy with GE. I believe you are correct that the market is due a 10 -15 percent correction. In my worst case scenario I get assigned the shares at $10 per and the stock falls to 8.50 per. At that point I can still sell calls against it but selling at less than 10 will really dent my profit. Should I just put the wheel away for a couple of months until after the expected pull back? You’ve said there’s nothing wrong with holding cash for a month or two. Or should I try to keep the wheel rolling? Thanks for your advice!
