20 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Highest Buy Ratings

Most recommended stocks with very high yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love stocks with high dividend yields but there are only a few with sustainable payments. I think about Altria or Lorillard. Other stocks have a huge potential for a dividend cut, also if they are a Dividend Champion or a stock with a very long dividend growth history. I made this investment mistake with Avon Products. The company was highly leveraged and became some operations problems. Finally they reduced the dividend dramatically.

Most of the people need stocks with very high yields. I don’t because my private wealth is high enough to catch the dividend payments and live off it. In the past, I often thought it would be the only solution to put all my money into the highest yielding stocks with the most attractive fundamentals. This strategy failed and I lost much money within the closed-end shipping industry. That was a big mistake from which I learned and I like to share this with you.

Please don’t put all your money into one stock or make a single bet on a high-yield stock. This is very risky. That’s all I can say. Make a good research and try to avoid an overweighting of a stock or asset theme.

Each month, I made a regular screen about the stocks with the highest dividend yields because I believe there is a lot of value information in it for my readers. This month, I like to show you the 20 most recommended stocks with a double-digit dividend yield and a higher market capitalization (over USD 300 million). Out there are 95 companies with a very high yield but only 35 have a buy or better recommendation. The REIT industry is still a big player on my screen with 6 representatives.

18 Stocks With Very High Yields (+10%) And Earnings Growth

+10% yielding shares with strong earnings per share growth originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com" Some of my friends search regular for stocks with very high yield. I don’t talk about high-yields, stocks with yields between 5-10 percent. I mean stocks with annualized dividend yields of more than 10 percent.

It sounds a bit unserious and I personally would never buy such stocks but I can understand my friends because they have only a low net worth and they try to boost their passive income from dividends.

Let me say one thing: It could not sustainable for any kind of business to pay such a high amount of money to shareholders at a normal valuation. Something must be wrong. But if find an attractive investment, you can boost your dividend income and in ten years your investment paid-off.

Out there are 148 stocks with a yield over 10 percent. I’ve tried to figure out some interesting stocks.

These are my criteria:

- Dividend Yield above 10%

- Earnings per share growth for the next 5Y over 5%

- Market Capitalization over 300 million

Eighteen shares fulfilled these criteria. Seven of them have a current buy or better recommendation.
