A large and reliable dividend payment can make almost any stock attractive. Companies that return much of their cash to shareholders in the form of dividends may not offer the potential for as much growth as their lesser-paying counterparts, but they can provide a steady stream of income, boosting the returns of nearly any portfolio. Moreover, they're often less volatile stocks, with firmly established business models.
A dividend yield of 3% is generally seen as adequate, but some stocks yield much more than that. Investors looking for even higher rates of return have many companies to choose from. Among these, Ford (NYSE:F), General Motors (NYSE:GM), and HP (NYSE:HPQ) all yield more than 4%.
