YES, sound investments are available with yields of 5% or more in today's market. You don't have to settle for the minimal interest rates currently offered by CDs, T-Bills, and the like.
BUT it's essential to avoid these stumbling blocks:
• Overpaying for a security.
• Holding on following significantly negative developments that may not be widely reported.
• Suffering a reduced payout.
• Failing to spread your risk across different security types (preferred stocks, closed-end funds, convertibles, dividend stocks, and more).
