Stocks with Yields over 10%

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 had some operational problems. Finally it reduced the dividend dramatically.

Each month, I make a regular screen about the stocks with the highest dividend yields because I believe there is a lot of valuable information in it for my readers. This month, I would like to show you the 20 most recommended stocks with a double-digit dividend yield and a higher market capitalization (over USD300 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 six representatives. Here are the three biggest stocks from the screen: Northern Tier Energy (NTI), Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais (CIG) and American Capital Mortgage Investment (AGNC).
