How do you find investments that pay good dividends like in the 15% region?

Is it mainly blue chip stocks that are more secure that also produce good ROE and good profit margins? I have found some good ftse 500 companies (uk companies that are at the top) but I cant find out the rate they would be paying out dividends.

As an example I would like to know how much of a dividend I would get on a 拢1000 investment in a company like Vodafone Group (LSE:VOD).

As for the percentages, all you need to know is the amount of the dividend and the price of the stock itself to figure the percentage. Example: a company with it's common stock price at (using US dollars) $50/share pays a dividend of $7.50/share. That is 15%. You have to consider that dividend is based on an entire year, and companies, most commonly, pay dividends on a quarterly basis. So take that 7.50/4=1.875/share per quarter. So if you own 100 shares, you get 1.875*100 shares per quarter, which is $187.50.

As for where to find this info, you can use Google, Yahoo, MSN or in most cases, whatever brokerage company you have an account with. They all have this information available to you. Reuters is another great resource. I'm not that familiar with the UK, but in the US the Utilities and REITs' pay the highest of the divedends typically. It is not uncommon to find those in the 15% range. but you also have to consider the tax consequences of the dividends as well. Maybe you are not affected by the dividend payment, maybe you're not. Here it depends in part on your tax bracket, but ultimately how much taxes you pay depends on your overall tax situation. hope this helps some.

As to Vodafone, here is the data:

The dividend on 1000 pounds is 26 pounds.

I doubt you will be able to find many fifteen percent dividend companies, anywhere on the globe, that are not troubled.
