Always diversify into best of breed companies in different industries that are doing well in the business cycle. AT&T (T)does have a high yield and so does Altria (MO) but I would stay away from Kraft right now, looking at one of the previous posts. |

If I were as young as you, with more than 40 years for investing, I would start from the high yield stock.
But be careful, high yield means high risk, don't use all of your money at on shot, don't try to be rich quick at no time, learn from that you had done .... do your homeworks and good luck! |

You're young enough to certainly be looking at being a long-term investor. Check out a good, consistent balanced mutual fund, and just keep adding to it and you'll do fine over the years. |

Defenitly high yeild ..... Look into china for the future. And mutual funds will do you much better because they are smarter than you and can diversify your money and you can't because you don't have enough. ETF's are ok to. Look at trends worldwide like energy use, infastructure build outs, ect. then find a fund that invests in that. |

I would agree with Nathan....you should be focusing on growth not yield. Keep in mind that you pay taxes annually on your income from "yield" investments. You do not pay any taxes on stocks that appreciate in value (until you decide to sell them and then it is at lower capital gains rate).
Your mission should be to grow your investment portfolio with appreciating assets over the nest 20 years. You will then have a huge account that you can re-adjust to generate income for you should you so choose.

First you have to define what you're investing for - a new car in 3 years, or retirement in 20+.
Based on that, plus your rate of risk, plus your current income, makes a difference.
Are you willing to lose everything you have? How about 50%? 25% in a day? I had a stock (MSTR) that dropped 128 points in one day - so you have to be ready for that risk if you go directly into the stock market or into some tech mutual funds.
If you don't have the stomach for the loss, then go conservative.
If you can lose the money and still sleep at night - a strong dividend paying stock would be good, KFT (kraft), (MO) Altria, et al. If you get into a drip (direct reinvestment) from someone like dripadvisor.com, that will help your money compound for you. |

At 19, I would be more focused on a companies stock. That is going to grow with your age. If the stock has a yield at all. It probably will be small. If you really like yields. Look for a growth stock with a yield. Any type of yield. Two in one combo.
Then when your 50, You can start investing just for the yields. Unless, your already a millionare.
Related more too your question. High or Lower yield by itself doesn't really matter. Yes, higher yield will produce a higher dividend. But, is the company quality? I would say yields just above the current interest rate. Are by companies that have more quality to them. Usually.
BTW, I hate mutual funds. You can do better yourself. with out paying fee's and etc. etc.

Low. You want long-term growth. I encourage you to invest as much as you can; it gets harder as you get older. |
