Well, SNE is probably one of the worst stocks to own at the moment. The days where people used to live off dividends are long gone. The money you will lose on SNE (read about their business model and how they're losing billions every year) will make your investment in SNE a complete loss, despite the dividends.

In my opinion, good stocks these days do not offer dividends, and only bad stocks offer high dividends. See: http://fadi.el-eter.com/which-stock-has-…

I have a number of them, but the highest paying is AGNC, a reit stock. Dividend has been 18-20% annual yield for the last couple years. Current price about $31, but it shifts as the div dates come up and will usually cycle down to $28.50 or so. Last quarterly div was down a shade, $1.25 against the usual $1.40.

Right now few stocks are appreciating in value that much, so I'm adding to my hold.

Here is a list of stocks that pay a dividend as high as 20% of the current stock price. The list link is a recommendation of books for a beginner in the stock market:
