High dividend yield stocks are stocks
that consistently pay a high dividend yield average of any chosen standard.
How can you choose high dividend yield stocks?
- First you should decide your goal and
according to them do research on stocks by stock screener or brokerage web
sites.
- Then research the performance of the
company like their past few years’ achievements. Analyze the trend of market or

dividend yield. Dividend yield is dividing the amount of dividend paid by the
price. The best dividend yield rate is from 5% to 10%.
