Blindly investing in these stocks at the beginning of the years is, to be sure, a crap shoot. An additional plan needs to be used in accordance to assure long term success. The advantage of the higher dividends is good, and historically stocks that paid those dividends consistently over the years not only outperformed the market, but were safer than average. After all, we're working with odds here. The other thing we can say about these stocks is, good or bad, as a group, they have long-term volatility, which plays well into a strategy called AIM, originally written about by Robert Lichello.
