There are numerous companies paying good dividends right now. But you need to do a little research first and be certain that their earnings and projected earnings can sustain the current dividend level. Don’t jump right into a higher paying dividend as many corporations are currently reducing their percentage paid.

A little basic research on Yahoo.Financial or Google will go a long way in educating yourself. Again, research first, don’t just jump in.

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of companies paying dividends. If you are “playing the stock market game” you need to position yourself in time to get the dividends. That will usually mean buy and hold which isn’t really playing the game.
