That's a dangerous combination. High dividend yield may indicate a company in trouble that isn't going to be able to sustain that dividend payment.

No stock is guaranteed to return the highest amount. There are so many out there, and it all depends on what you want. In the long run, you are probably safest going with a mutual fund which will bring a 10-18% return each year, but is safest if you are going to keep it invested for several years, as the returns are not immediate.

If the money is something you wouldn't miss if you lost it, you can try investing it in one or two companies that you think will bring a high return. With this method though, you risk losing the money totally, and it is most beneficial if you study the company before hand, not just the stock history. How the company is doing, and what their market is projected to do is generally a good indicator of whether or not the stocks will go up. I can think of several companies that have gone from 60.00 a share over the last year down to less than 2.00 a share and eventually closed their doors. There are just as many of these stories, if not more, than the reverse story of stocks going from 2.00 to 60.00.
