High yielding REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) have been a popular investment in the stock market since the low interest rate environment set in two years ago. Several Diversified REITs earn their money on the spread between low-interest short-term borrowing and purchasing high-interest long-term securities. Given the current economic conditions, analysts argue that REITs' profits should remain stable. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for diversified REITs and provides research reports on American Capital Agency Corporation (NASDAQ: AGNC) and Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE: NLY).

REIT investments have some of the highest yields on Wall Street. As REITs these companies are typically not taxed on their income but are required to pay out 90 percent of their taxable income in dividends -- making their dividend payouts more volatile. While high yielding dividend paying stocks are appealing, be forewarned that companies can cut, slash, or suspend dividends at any time, often without notice.
