Dividend Yield | Jan 17, 2013 05:52AM ET

Each month, I made a regular screen of the stocks with the highest dividend yields. This month, I've zeroed in on the 20 most recommended stocks with double-digit dividend yields and a higher market capitalizations (over USD 300 million). There are 95 companies that fit this criteria, but only 35 have a buy or better recommendation. The REIT industry is still a big player on my screen with 6 representatives.
