I am always cautious about trading and what you are describing kinda sounds like market timing, which is very difficult to get right. Dirizzt: Good point - one cannot base a decision solely on this factor alone. Robin: Depends on the stock - that way I look at is from an individual stock perspective and the average yield for that stock for over say, 10 years. If the yield is way higher than the average, you have a high yield. Again, a low paoyout ratio depends on the stock - some consistently have high ones (70%+) and some are low (~30%). Good question.

Is 7% high, medium or low? The article wasn't clear on this point. Also, what is a low payout ratio? I've been reading a fair bit and haven't come across this tidbit yet.
