High dividend yielding stocks are not something which interests most investors. Everyone is looking for capital gains. However, there are many advantages to having high-dividend-yielding stocks in one’s portfolio. For the purpose of this report, we had kept the dividend yield of at least 7 percent as a benchmark. The reason for this is that dividend yield should be higher than the interest rate provided by banks on FDs. Another condition was that the company should have a track record of paying dividends, without interruption, for at least 12 years.
