Increase your yearly returns by including dividend paying stocks. There are many companies out there that you can get good annual returns from just from there dividends alone. And if you can find a good dividend paying stock with the right technicals and the right risk reward it becomes a no brainer.
Some of the better fundamentaly sound companies that also pay a good dividend are:
Exxon Mobile (XOM)
Microsoft (MSFT)
Proctor and Gamble
Intel
ADP
So before you buy your next stock take a look at whether or not it pays dividends. Might as well go with the stocks that can add to your annual gains if the stock moves up or offset the losses if the stock goes down. Just something to think about.
