If you like to invest in stocks with a higher degree of safeness, you
should take a look at stocks from forgotten industries like the wireless
communication industry. Certainly, the growth is not as high as the growth of
social network companies or software stocks but they pay a much higher dividend
and it helps you to hedge your investment. What alternatives are available
within the dividend category?
However, I made a screen of the best yielding U.S. based technology
stocks with a low P/E ratio (below 15) and a market capitalization over USD 300
million. Below the results are many semiconductor stocks. If you include stocks from abroad,
you find a lot of stocks with high yields from the telecom services industry. Eighteen stocks remained of which eleven have a yield over three percent and the same number of stocks are recommended to buy.
