20 Cheap Stocks With The Highest Yields On The Market

In the seven years since the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates virtually to zero, investors have struggled to find income amid a low-yield landscape. 

That's why stocks with high dividend yields are particularly appealing right now to income investors and savers -- double-digit yields, even more so. 

Recently I wrote about the highest yielding stocks on the market with a buy or better rating. The yields from the results were all over 8 percent.

Today I like to share those stocks with you that offer the cheapest P/E, price-to-earnings ratios while having the highest yields on the market.

I've also include those stocks with a 2+ billion market capitalization. Limited Partnerships, Oil drillers, REITs and Telecoms are mostly higher yielding stocks, giving investors a large share of its annual profits back via dividends.

Here are the results...

20 Buy Rated Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 8%

One group of investors that has had more than their fill of quantitative easing (QE) is income investors, who rely on investments that pay steady and dependable dividends or distributions that help supplement other sources of income. 

The whole point of QE was to drive down interest rates to make higher risk assets more attractive. 

While that has worked out pretty well for growth stock investors with long time horizons, income and growth and income investors were left with very little to cheer about. 

In the early 2000s, large money center banks were offering certificates of deposit, guaranteed for principal up to $250,000, that yielded anywhere from 5% to 7%. Currently that is in the 2%-plus range.

It's sad but we needed to say goodbye to higher yields with low risks. Today we get only low yields with high risk.

Attached you can find 20 stocks with a buy or better rating that offer you a 8% yield or more.

I've only included those stocks with a market cap over 2 billion in order to avoid the really big risks.

14 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10% And An Expected Single P/E

It seems that every story you read about these days is geared toward day traders or those looking for long-term growth in retirement portfolios. But there are millions of investors who need or want current income, and low interest rates have made that strategy largely a losing one. Some of us developed to yield seekers, looking for cheap and high yielding stocks
.

I’m not talking about a yield income of 1 or 2 percent yearly. No, that’s boring. I’m talking about a 2.5 percent yield per quarter or a sum of 10% or more per year.

Attached you can find a selection of stocks with yields over 10 percent. The valuation of the selected stocks is cheap with a forward P/E of less than 10.

Most of the 14 results are off mainstream: Asset Managers, Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing, REITs and finally Telecoms are the main groups that pay those big dividends while having a cheap valuation.

Are they cheap for a reason or a bargain?

The market is always looking forward, so that fact that those stocks are trading below their book value suggests investors expect the companies to underperform. While there are several reasons why this is could be the case, one of the most apparent is tighter spreads.

Here are the results in detail....

20 Highly Shorted Financial Dividend Stocks And Which 11 Are Wrong

Financial dividend stocks with highest float short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Financials are in focus of many investors because they have a great possibility to leverage profits and they benefit if the economy starts to grow. 

But the whole sector is also very vulnerable for systematic risks. Due to the concatenation of many firms, a bail in of one company can hurt the whole system deeply.

This is also one of the reasons why financial stocks are very popular targets for short sellers. If there develops a rumor, it ends in a bank run.

Today I like to show you which stocks from the financial sector (excluded by ETFs) have the highest float short ratio. My only restriction is a market capitalization of more than USD 300 million.

The 20 top results have a float short ratio between 11.56 and 28.67 percent. The Insuring industry is the biggest industry followed by REITs. Despite the negative view of the investors, eleven of the results have a current buy or better recommendation.
