Big Caps With Big Yields

Higher Capitalized Stocks With Double-Digit Yields Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Stocks with very high yields are attractive for dividend and income investors. If you own a stock with a double-digit yield, you should expect a quarterly dividend of at least 2.5%.
