High payout, falling price. CPZ yields 13.29%, but its share price changed by -21.0% over the past year, for a total return of -10.4% including dividends. When the price keeps falling, the payouts may be coming out of the investment itself, so the yield can overstate what you keep. What is a yield trap?
