   Verizon's dividend yield looks too good to be true. Is it?   
      
   Dividends are an attractive proposition for owning a stock. After all,   
   it's nice to get paid only for owning something. When looking at high   
   dividend-yielding stocks, three sectors often come up: utilities, real   
   estate investment trusts (REITs), and telecoms. These businesses   
   usually have very consistent cash flows, allowing them to pay a   
   higher-than-average dividend to shareholders.   
      
   Among the telecoms is Verizon Communications (VZ -0.71%), the   
   second-largest provider behind AT&T. The stock sports an attractive   
   6.89% dividend yield, which also places it in red-flag   
   territory. Often, when a stock's dividend yield rises higher than 5%,   
   it's seen as a warning sign that the company won't be able to pay its   
   dividend obligations sustainably.
