Dividend vs Growth Stocks (self.stocks)

With SPY's average ~5% return rate, does it make sense to invest in companies like SJT, MPW, PXD, etc that have over 10% dividends? Companies like ORC which have like 18% dividend, but the underlying stock price continues to fall more that 18% are traps sure, but SJT, MPW, PXD and others that have a decent track record of not losing much (or even gaining) value seem like good investments.

Am I missing something?

Probably that SPY pays a dividend. The actual return including reinvested dividends is 7-9%
