I have not invested in L and G before and would like peoples opinion on the stock. I am looking to build a portfolio with high yield stocks with the prospect of some growth. Does L and G fit into this catagory? Or are there any other recommendations that anyone can make?

Hello Tyke

L&G is a pretty good stock from a high-yield perspective but nobody can say whether it's necessarily going to fit the bill for you. However, if you go and peruse the High Yield Portfolio board:

you will find lots of people trying to do exactly what you are doing, viz. build a portfolio of high yield stocks. The discussion there (and also the FAQs, which cover the basics of that style of investing) should provide ideas and information that will help you answer your question.

Good luck
