In order to find some attractive high yield stocks, I screened the popular
S&P 500 by stocks with a dividend yield over 5 percent as well as a low P/E ratio
of less than 15. The index has 24 high yields but only 10 companies have a low P/E ratio.
Below the results is one stock with a double digit yield; four stocks are recommend
to buy.
Here are my favorite
