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
market price.
- Next step should be to look into the
dividend yield. Dividend yield is dividing the amount of dividend paid by the
price. The best dividend yield rate is from 5% to 10%.
