9 Stocks With Double-Digit Yields And Buy Or Better Recommendations

Stocks with very high dividend yields and buy or better ratings originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Boost your dividend income wisely. The easiest way is to look for stocks with extraordinary high yields but there is still a huge risk to receive the dividend one time and no more further.

There is no solution for this problem because no return exists without a risk. Today I’ve screened stocks with very high dividend yields (over 10 percent). Around 100 companies have a current yield over 10 percent but most of them are low capitalized or they will pay no high dividends in the future. In order to eliminate the real big risks from the screening results, I observed only those companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. In addition, the stock should have a buy or better rating. Only nine stocks fulfilled these criteria with a dividend yield between 10 percent and 20 percent.
