A popular group of high-yield stocks could be found in the index of the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is a stock market index based on the market capitalizations of 500 leading companies publicly traded in the U.S. stock market, as determined by Standard & Poor's. As of now, around 18 companies from the index have a yield over 5 percent and five are currently recommended to buy.
As you see, a high yield is not only the only solution for a stock buy. There are so many criteria which make a stock attractive. I talk about growth and margins, which is at least an expression of a solid and strong market position. A trustful management as well as a stable business environment are also two very important factors to consider. Here are my favorite stocks: AT&T (T), Altria Group (MO) and Paychex (PAYX).
