Avoiding Dividend Traps

from Planning Made Simple · host Planning Made Simple, created by Paul Durso

Chasing high dividend yields can feel exciting — until the income disappears. In this episode, we break down dividend traps, why dividend cuts are so painful, and how investors get lured into unsustainable yields. We walk through the most common red flags, including high payout ratios, weak cash flow, and poor balance sheets, and explain how to stress-test dividends before you invest. If you want to build long-term, reliable income and avoid emotional investing mistakes, this is a must-watch for dividend investors at any stage. www.planningmadesimple.com
