First, get a free Standard & Poor, Value Line or Morningstar report on Phizer from your local library (or broker, if you have one). This will tell you about the company operations and give you particulars on both company finances (liquidity, assets, obligations, etc.) and historical investment returns. To determine a high yield, compare the stock's listed dividend yield with a same period investment in a CD at a bank (the "risk free" rate of return) or a money market at a brokerage house. Phizer has typcially been a good investment, however, pharaceutical companies are notorious for attracting lawsuits that may affect company profits and dividend payouts. Remember, all this can help you make an informed decision, but past performance does not guarantee future performance.

I currently own stocks in Wyatt and Eli Lilly, and they seem to be doing quite well. I've never had anything to do with Pfizer, so I can't really tell you for certain.
