Hi all,
I'm giving a series of financial talks (just as an amateur) on zoom, and the first one is on budgeting. It's a talk I've given before, and on one slide I mention that one way to generate additional passive income is through dividends. When I gave the talk before, I held up AT&T as an example of a stock to invest in to generate a lot more money than bank interest. The trouble is, back then AT&T was in the mid 30s, and now it is in the high 20s. I don't know if it's such a great example anymore given its price erosion. I think I also mentioned BP, which is in even worse straits now. I hope nobody listened to me
.
I've changed the slide to list Dominion Energy, which has had a stable value for quite some time. However, its yield is only 3.1%, which is less than half what AT&T has. I'm just wondering if there's something better to hold up as the epitome of a "good dividend stock investment".
Thanks in advance for the suggestions!
