Five Stocks Under $10

According to research published in The Journal of Portfolio Management in 1980, low price stocks on a risk adjusted basis outperform high price stocks, by a substantial amount. The study defines a low price stock as one that sells for $10 or less.

Many investors like low priced stocks, but to reduce risk, some investors look for those that pay dividends. Dividends can return your capital faster, which helps to lower risk. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has a list of high yield stocks below $10 a share, turning up over a hundred different companies.
