2 High-Yield Tech Stocks to Buy in January

If history is our guide, the best thing an investor can do with his cash is to buy dividend stocks. Numerous studies prove that over long periods of time, dividend stocks perform better than non-paying stocks by a wide margin.

Several years ago, J.P. Morgan Asset Management found that stocks that initiated and then raised their payouts over a 40-year period between 1972 and 2012 returned an average of 9.5% annually, vs. just 1.6% non-dividend-paying stocks. Over rolling three-year periods, the higher-yielding securities beat the low- and non-dividend-yielding securities about two-thirds of the time.
