I run my fundamental stock screener searching stocks with the highest dividend yield. Report list only companies included in index S&P 500. Not surprisingly except one (GM) there are only financials and banks in top ten. The one of the highest yield was for financials compared to other sectors already before credit turmoils. And after deep fall we can see almost incredible yield over 30% for MBI.
I list below one more table. Just to show top 10 high dividend stocks purged from financials.

    The dividends a company issues is one of the draws that would lean an investor to a fund. It means that while you sit back extra cash is coming in, no need to sell any shares to realize the profit. All companies are not the same, it is best to pick a market sector and compare statistics.
