While true in theory, many stocks with high yields are high-yielding for a reason: They are also high risk. What seemed like easy money could end up having the opposite of the desired effect. With that in mind, here are three stocks that look like yield traps to me: Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI), R.R. Donnelley & Sons (NYSE:RRD), and Teekay Tankers (NYSE:TNK).

Top 10 Casino Stocks To Invest In 2019: Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc.(KPTI)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Chris Lange]
Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: KPTI) reported results from the Phase 2 portion of pivotal Phase 2/3 SEAL study of selinexor in dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS). The previously reported results met PFS endpoint under RECIST criteria (5.5-month versus 2.7-month with placebo). No benefit was observed under World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, which in DDLS is considered to be a poorer determinant of tumor status since it can mistakenly classify stable disease as progressive disease. Wedbush expects the Phase 3 portion will succeed as well, but the firm notes the limited economic value in the indication given rarity and short duration of use.
