ISerg Investors often ask what is the optimal number of stocks to hold in one's portfolio, and the answer is that it's not a one size fits all scenario. For one thing, sometimes it's hard to justify dollar cost averaging into existing positions when they are trading at fair or lofty valuations.

But can't doesn't mean never. Sometimes, you can get what you want. Income investors want solid income (of course). However, they also like their investments to grow. However, they must often trade off growth in exchange for higher income. But some stocks offer both. Here are three high-yield dividend stocks that could s ...
