How much of your available cash are you going to put into a dividend portfolio of tech stocks?

By picking large cap stocks with lower betas you are decreasing your risk of losing money if the market continues lower after you get into these stocks. That's good but what's bad is that you are decreasing your potential to profit from investing in a higher beta stock.

In other words would I rather have AIXG at the next bottom when it could potentially rise 3 to 10 times while paying a much larger dividend. It's already over 4% although I admit there is no guarantee that this or any dividend with remain payable.



On the other hand INTC will be safer. Any of the stocks you mentioned will be safer but you won't get that kind of return unless we return to the excesses of 1999-2000:
