Thank you benjamen.
A general question if I may: I took the Fish's list and filtered out stocks based on the explanation here and based on other places I've read and came to a list of 63 stocks. If I will invest the same amount in all these stocks (that was my plan), the average dividend yield will be 3.2% (before taxes). If I know correctly, the div tax is 15% so that brings me to 2.72%.
I hear so many good things about this method (specially about the fact that the yield gets higher every time) and eventually I get 2.72%? I don't belittle this and I know I can invest in higher yield stocks but we do play with stocks and that has its risks so I wonder, am I missing something here?
Thanks
