tdp2664 InvestorPlace No doubt, high-dividend paying stocks look quite attractive now – especially in light of the recent market volatility and rock-bottom government bond yields. Yet many of these kinds of companies have few growth opportunities. But there is one category that could be an exception: large tech stocks. Thus, if the economy does manage a comeback, there should be some nice capital gains for investors. So which stocks look interesting? Here's a look: Intel (Nasdaq: INTC ) – 4.2% dividend yield: Even though the company has been slow with its mobile strategy, the fact is it remains the dominant global player in semiconductors. It has thousands of top-notch engineers and a variety of state-of-the-art manufacturing centers. In fact, with its huge cash flows, Intel is in a good position to acquire companies. For example, one key deal was for Infineon’s (Nasdaq: IFNY ) mobile chips division. There was also the purchase of McAfee, which is a big provider of security software. This is definitely a long-term growth opportunity. All in all, Intel's valuation is fairly cheap. The price-to-earnings ratio is only 9. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) – 2.6%: The company has been mostly reactive over the years. It did have the foresight to invest in Facebook, and for the most part Microsoft's Internet business has been a dud. Unfortunately, the same is true for its mobile software division, and the company's partnership with Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) does not look like a winner. Despite all this, Microsoft still has several powerful businesses.
