Stocks from the technology sector with strong growth and high dividends originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

We all know that there are great investment opportunities within the technology sector. Think at Facebook or Google. Both are great companies and they made early stage investors very rich – mostly investors of the pre-capital market area.

Sure the field is not a great source for income investors because the companies need money to finance growth and perspectives and possibilities are really huge.

Not all companies have the ability manage growth in a successful way. They try hard but it doesn’t work. Think at Blackberry or Microsoft. Other companies with a solid market position have changed their statement to the financial market: They like to pay good dividends because they sit on big cash mountains and find no risk-adjusted way to grow. Cisco Systems or Microsoft are two stocks with strong growing dividends.

But there are still some good yielding stocks with mid-term growth perspectives. Today, I like to show you the best yielding higher capitalized stocks with double-digit expected earnings per share growth.

Twenty-six stocks from the tech sector fulfilled these criteria. Most of the results come from the communication equipment industry. This is a hard playing industry were you have a higher downside risk as stock trader. But you can find some attractive stocks on the list below.
