Are these 6 low risk but high yield stocks for you?

Hi! If you're new here and enjoy reading the posts, you can subscribe to my feed. Thanks for visiting!

I was reading this month’s issue of Personal Money magazine and one of the feature article for the month under the Investing Insights column talks about 6 Malaysian high-yield stocks that are relatively low in risk. These stocks are considered resilient and yields between 5% to 6% per annum.

They do seem to be better yielding than money sitting in the fixed deposit but are they for you?

The 6 high yield stocks are listed below:

1. Panasonic Manufacturing Malaysia – Stock price RM12.20, dividend 6.5%

2. Amway Malaysia Holdings – Stock price RM7.35, dividend 5.4%

3. DiGi.Com – Stock price RM22.10, dividend 4.5%

4. British American Tobacco (BAT) – Stock price RM45.90, dividend 5.8%

5. YTL Power International – Stock price RM2.21, dividend 6.8%

6. Guinness Anchor – Stock price RM6.54, dividend 6.3%

The stocks listed above aren’t for me. For one thing, a lot of them are very pricy! And of the 6, the cheaper stocks seem to have higher dividend payouts than the more expensive ones.

What are the resilient and high-yielding stocks in your portfolio like? Any of the above in hand already?

er…unfortunately not. hahaha. nearly bought YTL power when it was 1.70 but din buy. =_=

another stock i would recommend is Telekom Malaysia – dividend yield around 12% per annum. just make sure u run away once khazanah bail out :P

the banks hv high dividend yield but tend to be riskier.

I would go with buying those Big cap stocks you mentioned up there. You can buy small, like 100 lots, and the return is better than buying penny stocks (which in my experience is speculative trading). Now that the bear run has ended, only pessimists stop you from trying. If you look at KLK, back in Nov 2008 it dropped to RM7? and today it is RM14. So don’t let anyone tell you how to invest your money. Try it yourself.
