I Wouldn't Touch This 6.3%-Yielding Dividend Stock Right Now, Even Though Everyone Else Is Buying It.

Despite Energy Transfer's attractive 6.3% dividend yield and strong analyst coverage, the author prefers Enbridge due to trust concerns. Energy Transfer cut its distribution during COVID-19 and has a history of questionable decisions, including the failed Williams acquisition attempt in 1996. Enbridge's 31-year consecutive dividend increase history and cleaner track record make it a more reliable choice for dividend investors, even with a slightly lower 5.8% yield.
