Let's talk about dividends guys. Is it worth doing if I have around 5000 to put into a dividend yielding company? If I were to do this, I'm looking at a long term 20 year investment. Can someone explain the issue with companies that pay dividends of onwards of 20-40%?

Most of the companies on that list have either
A. stopped paying the dividend
B. cut the dividend to a smaller amount
C. Will cut the dividend
You probably cannot find a stock that pays over 10% yield reliably.

The first stock on that list shows that that list is bullshit.

That's $1.50 a year, not $16.

Dividends aren't for you. Put into something that grows. Dividends are for people that have several million dollars invested. They just get a div of 3-5% a year on 5 mil and treat it as income and not care. That is last div/share price. Those companies went bankrupt, almost, and stopped paying dividends.

How about finding an ETF that pays dividends? Its rather risky to invest all of it in a single company. SDIV is an ETF that pays monthly dividends and have a pretty high yield.
I bought it a couple of months back and ive been recieving steady dividends every month. Im currently looking for another ETF thats similar to SDIV.

the problem with the list is that it's all commons and no preferreds
