I'm looking at picking up some high yield stock for my IRA.  Any suggestions?

 

I pick up some STON a bit ago, and am looking at RAI.

 

I thought about PFE, but I cant bank on the yield outweighing the capital depreciation this stock has been seeing the past few years. 

 

I want to stay away from financials, I think there are still going to have to be some div cuts in order to sure up balance sheets.

 

Thanks-

FRO has been good in spite of the analysts.  IAF has been steady.  And right now DRE seems to be a bargain.  MIC is good too.

Is there any downside to the Canadian trusts, besides the normal downsides with investing in a trust structured business.  I am just curious if there have been any new tax laws passed in Canada making the after tax yield not as attractive.

I'm not positive on this but I read that there is a 15% foreign tax on all dividends paid for the canadian trusts.

I found this article.  There is some good banter on the bottom about the pro's and con's of canadian trusts, especially a new tax law coming in to effect in 2011.

 Hope this helps.

NRF if your risk tolerance is high, currently yielding 17%+.  One of the more conservative and smarter REITs (commercial mainly) but R/E is still risky.

Why don't you try JPC or JQC.  Although I would go with JPC right now.  They are both ETFs.  And they are both near their 52 week low, which is awesom.  They yield is a ridiculous 12.67%.  You buy them now you can have high dividend on top of possible capital gain.
