No one should ever give investment advice, but I will offer this; I like a high dividend yield on a solid stock. Yahoo financial has some wonderful screeners that you can use to find a return from 2% on up into double digits. I have a few that were yielding 8-10% when purchased and the increase in price is just gravy. Then you have to figure out what kind of market cap you are comfortable with, which industries you know something about, and dig into the companies to see which ones are solid. Set a reasonable stop loss.
