That&s;s &q;big dividends&q; in the relative sense.

With the U.S. 10-year Treasury rate at 2.7%, then stocks paying more than a 4% dividend yield are of interest. An equity has more risk intrinsically than a government bond — if you&s;re willing to accept that, then you may find the higher yield a more attractive choice.

All of the stocks listed here have low price/earnings ratios. Again, that&s;s in the relative sense. Since the p/e of the Standard &a;amp; Poor&s;s 500 is about 30 and the p/e of the Russell 2000 is 89, I&s;m calling a p/e of less than 15 &q;small.&q;

&l;strong&g;Alliance Bernstein&l;/strong&g; is in the business of managing financial assets. The price/earnings ratio is 10.9 and the dividend yield is 9.05%.
