If you're one of those investors who goes for safety over risk, and wants a little income or cash flow thrown into the mix, stocks that offer high dividends might be the place for you. In fact, some investment strategists believe high-dividend stocks offer much better value right now than fixed-income alternatives.
However, investing in high dividend stocks can be tricky. You need to find a balance between a company that is doing very well financially, and will be paying dividends for the long term, but also has a high yield. Generally, the higher the dividend yield of a stock, the more risky the company is going to be. So a high dividend stock is a good investment only if the company is stable.
