Read through the thread, I already had this discussion

Not convinced about the risk, I'd go with the tracker unless you believe in a particular share. What about russia cutting off the gas, seems nothing is safe or risk free so invest in everything if anything

Just been checking online now. In my opinion good solid well extablished companies like BP, British Airways etc... which have done pretty poorly this year and therefore are cheap to buy and that have high dividend yields would be your best bet. These companies are likely to bounce back as they are "needed" and so "unlikely" they will go bust and when the recession passes they should rally too

Just checked (despite their pitfalls) Barclays costs aprox 153p and has a DY of 21%!
BT group 135p with DY of 11%

BUT there's obviously more to the research than that so be careful!

But you're looking at current share prices and historic yield. Divi for Barclays is forecast to fall to 9.44p (6.15%) and BT to 11.98p (8.86%).

I'm just curious as to why the OP says he's interested in putting his 'money in the market for the long term' yet only seems interested in 2009 performance.

Investing in a single stock seems high risk. Have you considered using a fund to spread your money over many companies?

For specifically high dividends, e.g.:
iShares FTSE UK Dividend Plus (IUKD), Distribution Yield 10.31%

Also consider UK Equity Income funds. There's a bunch here.

Nice spot but its important to note that fund has fallen 44% last year, much worse then a tracker yielding 4% or so

High yield is often for good reasons.

FT

by perform well, do you mean the share price (which most posters have taken you to mean), or the company ?
