Here's an example of some highest dividend stocks.
AIG (American Int. Group) - Div & Yield: 0.88 (41.90%)
FNM (Fannie Mae) - Div & Yield: 0.20 (28.20%)
FRE (Freddie Mac) - Div & Yield: 1.00 (125.00%)
GM (General Motors) - Div & Yield: 1.00 (16.40%)
GE (General Electric) - Div & Yield: 1.24 (6.90%)
MS (Morgan Stanley) - Div & Yield: 1.08 (6.00%)
MER (Merill Lynch) - Div & Yield: 1.40 (8.00%)
Do you notice what all these companies have in common ?
All these stocks have been moving at huge volumes everyday the last few weeks along with some other stocks that pay no dividend at all. Retail Investors have been pouring tons of new money into buying these stocks. If you bought any of these stocks recently and still have them, get ready for a big wakeup call.
Another thing that is not being talked about which is larger is sub-prime mortgages is Alt-A loans and Prime loans.
