[Thinking-man]

What's the highest dividend ETF and what's the highest dividend Stock you know?

Here are a few that I have in my portfolio:

COP Conoco Phillip
PFE Pfizer
XOM Exxon

Of coarse everything is relative, my idea of high and yours could be entirely different. Here is a little snapshot of Exxon:

This is why it's a very poor choice to chase high dividends like these. You're better off in Vegas.

one day perhaps people will get it thriough their heads about buying for yield.

The higher the yield the greater the risk of broken promises.

[mathjak107]

but you know the drill , they don't care what is happening to the investment as long as the dividend is payed.

[Good Point]

REM
IST
PEX
MORT

All pay more than 10%

Here's a novel idea. Dividend not enough? Sell off a fraction of your principal.

REM pays a 15% dividend but look how its price return BOMBED versus the S&P. There's a term for this. It's called SLIGHT OF HAND! Distract you with the high dividend as your principal erodes.
