High yield FTSE 100 stock recommendations?

cashbackproblems

Hi guys

I have a few k spare to invest in a share, i currently hold VOD (small holding), Barc, Aviva.

Am happy to take some risk and less yield for share growth potential so its not about income solely.

Does anyone have any suggestions? If not i will probably just increase my VOD holding

thanks

How about one of the equity income funds? You then aren't dependent on the fortunes of a single company.

Thanks for the links which i am reading. Not too keen on energy companies at the top of the lists e.g. national grid and centrica, thinking of Tesco? Otherwise i will top up Sirius Exploration!

Buy an ETF.

You can make a more informed bet on a market, country or sector than you can on an individual stock. As an individual investor you will always lag the professionals in information when it comes to single stocks.

I am currently watching BRBY closely. Great potential IMHO

With every man and his dog on the internet wanting to buy high yielding income stocks, you might want to consider whether following the crowd is always the best way to invest.

Normally, unless you're sure an even bigger crowd will be following you to push up prices further then it isn't. Of course, this time it might be different, or not, and may depend on the time horizon you have in mind.
