Default Re: Buying stocks with high dividends?

An index fund will have much lower volatility (and hence better risk-adjusted returns) than individual stocks. WisdomTree has some dividend-weighted ETFs that may interest you. Be aware that high dividends make investments less tax efficient. On the flip side though, dividend yield is a weak part of value, and you can expect slightly higher returns and volatility from stocks with higher dividends.
