Handle volatility in conventional & unconventional ways: Capital gains & dividend yield. 6 stocks with dividend yield of 4-8%; return of over 22%

How are individual investors different from institutional investors? Here’s one fundamental difference: Most individual investors don't even look at dividend yield before buying stocks, something institutional investors give due importance to. In their communications, institutional investors are clear that dividend yield is a good enough reason to buy a stock because it is an income stream beyond possible capital gains. Around a year back, when valuations were extremely high, it was difficult to find stocks with good dividend yields and a reasonable probability of capital gains. But the corrections in the market have brought some opportunities to the fore.
