Who has not been attracted to discounts? “25% off!”, or “Buy 2 get 1 free!”, or even “$100 cash mail-in rebate!” Savings and rebates certainly make purchases much more enticing. But when it comes to buying stocks, far too many people walk right past offers of savings and rebates without so much as a glance.

Some stocks have such high yields only because their stock prices recently took big hits
