This is for the young guns out there.
So as i search the interwebs for stocks with dividends in my range or purchase. (looking to put in 500 - 1000 a month?) i save a large portion of my paycheck and fight the temptation of a new car and reckless spending.
But what i was looking at was buying a stock like
SDT
@ 5.13
Div & Yield: 1.71(26.80)
EPS: 2.00
P/E: 2.56
Sounds nice. But as i read in another thread about " how long could they possibly keep that up?"
as someone who is on the lower end buying spectrum, is something like SDT that is considered high yield / risky even worth purchasing?
also does it have a place in a long term investors portfolio?
or would i be better off putting money in a pricier stock like aapl, VZ.
does more mean better or does it make sense to roll with quality over quantity.
Thanks for any future input.
I know its a lot to look at sorry but ive been battling with this idea for the past week.
