7 Dangerous Dividend Stocks to Sell Now Dividends are an important part of many portfolios, but along with recognizing the top dividend stocks, you also need to be able to recognize which dividend stocks to sell at a given time. Today we highlight a list of dangerous dividend stocks. I would consider this a call to sell them now if you have them, or avoid them until more we learn more.

As the Fed has raised its rate, the yields have crept up, but not enough to stop investors from chasing dangerous dividend stocks. Investors should be leery of stocks that rewards you too much in dividends just to lure you in.
