Barnes & Noble: 10.7% yield
Not to pick on the retail industry, but the third and final ultra-high-yield stock that income investors would be wise to avoid is the nation's largest bookstore chain Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS).
Once a force to be reckoned with, Barnes & Noble is merely a shell of its former self.
THIS is the Riggio’s legacy now.Not the old days. THIS is BN will be remember for...
Business watchers , like Motley Fool, referring to them as “incompetent “
That’s what business experts think of BN!
Please do yourself a favor !
Don’t ride this train to its disastrous end !
Get out there and get yourself right before BN does you wrong !
( like they did last year !)
The Motley Fool:
Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS) has been a slowly sinking ship for many years. You can blame some of that on Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and some on the chain's own incompetence.

Others hold a grimmer outlook. "The only sensible thing to do with Barnes & Noble, is to accept the fact that it will die and take as much cash out as you can over as long a period as you could take cash out," a veteran in the book business told Retail Dive. "The thing to do is to put Barnes & Noble in hospice. And obviously you want to keep it alive as long as you can, you want it to be comfortable, you want them to feel as little pain as possible, but the fact is it's going to die."
