Safe dividends vs dividend traps
Which fat yields look unsafe — and which are actually covered? Trap = high measured cut-risk with thin free-cash-flow cover; covered = low cut-risk with 1.5x+ cover, backed by realized cut base rates per cohort. Current US-listed payers with a fresh filing only — no dividend on file, no verdict.
