Stocks to park my $$ in with High Dividends

Thanks for the assistance, the links to past posts were very helpful. I think i am going to stick to my original long term, large cap, high div, high yield strategy, but I will wait for market pull back before I do so. I dont think it would be too smart to buy into this incredible strength. Thanks again all.
 
If you are in it for the long-haul like your original post states then you are making a mistake waiting for the market to pull back before investing. What if the market just keeps going up and up? You will end up kicking yourself for not getting in now when it was cheaper. If market timing was easy everyone here would be rich.
 
Stock picking is a tough game. one bad pick can wipe out most of your gains. For the most part stick with the big ETFs like the SPY. The exceptions are MO because of it's high dividend due to moral issues and the "too big to fail" financials. Remember the discipline of indexes is almost priceless and is hard to beat. Don't fool around with individual stocks as long term holdings.

It is way to early to hit sledged with a dose of mkt reality.....:D as time moves on the truth of mkt timing hits everyone.

Dividend stocks are in general non-growers (thats why dividends are paid out in first place). Taxes and inflation will eat up any stock and income from divi.

BOTTOM line............NO GUTS, NO GLORY

at age 23 .......this is the time to take some chances, go for some gusto. It is way to young to become a couch potato.

Get married to a Lady and see how fast those "SLOW" dollars disappear when the kids come and the love of your life decides either the house is to small or she "SUGGESTS" the kitchen needs a remodel. ...:eek: :D

Sledged, have you been making the BINGO parlors in your area?
 
Don't you have to worry about losing principle "park" your money in a dividend yielding stock? Just imagine "parking" your money in Enron or Worldcon for the dividend.
 
Grab a "REIT" on dips around the ex-d/cash record date. Do your dd and get the 8% or better. NFI and AHM are both very solid in their sectors. I don't own at the present, but have traded through their dividends in the past.
 
I think your one sharp kid....(no disrespect intended)

Quote from sledged:

I am 23 and looking to park my money in 5 or 6 large cap, high dividend paying equities. I am in the commodities industry and dont have the time to watch the equity markets so I want to park my funds into companies that will be around for the long run and provide me capital gains as well as pay me dividends which i will reinvest and let my returns compound over the next 30 years or so. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a couple of suggestions as to some good companies to satisfy these criteria. I was thinking Walmart, Microsoft, Home Depot, companies of the like. Any suggestions or other strategies are appreciated. I know this is a trading website but I want to go this route on top of possibly trading a small account on the side. Thanks for any help in advance
