With TRP, I owned it in the past and don't remember having any problems, but it's probably best to do more research, especially if you are getting a sizable position. In the past I had problems 'staying the course' with stocks, so may not have owned TRP long enough to get a dividend distribution.

Other out of favor sectors with high yields include the utilities, and I recently picked up a little DUK and SO, plus NEE as a turnaround. These have nice dividends over 4%, with NEE at around 3.5%.

With dividends, I usually avoid the really high div stocks, and look more for good long term holdings, with the dividend yield as secondary.
