Summary
In a declining market, investors often seek bargains among top performers like American Express, which has dropped nearly 30% but offers a low yield of 1.4%. Instead of chasing unreliable high-yield stocks such as AGNC Investment (down 20%, yielding 16% with a history of dividend cuts), income investors are advised to consider more stable options like UDR (4.2% yield), Toronto-Dominion Bank (5.1% yield), and W.P. Carey (6% yield), which have strong fundamentals and reliable dividend histories.
