Some of my readers have a huge desire for income stocks. Not enough, they should have a good payout in terms of initial yields and offer you a great opportunity with price hikes.
It�� hard to find the perfect dividend stock that delivers you a great return at a low risk and the higher the initial yield, the bigger the risk seems.
Today I would like to introduce you some of the highest yielding stocks at the stock market with current buy or better ratings by brokerage firms.
At the market are around a hundred stocks with double-digit dividend yields but most of them, 78 percent, are small capitalized. I don�� like stocks with a small market cap because of the low diversification and high sensitivity when trading volume comes into the stock. In my current screen, I observe only stocks with a USD 2 billion or more capitalization. Below is a list of the 9 highest yielding stocks with a buy or better rating.
These are the biggest stocks from the screen:
VimpelCom (VIP) has a market cap of $22.25 billion. The company employs 58,184 people, generates revenue of $23.061 billion and has a net income of $1.982 billion. VimpelCom�� earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounts to $9.768 billion. The EBITDA margin is 42.36% (the operating margin is 18.09% and the net profit margin 8.59%).

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Teresa Rivas]
Shares of Edward Lifesciences (EW) were climbing as high as 15% in Monday morning trading, after a federal court late Friday sided with the firm in its patent infringement lawsuit against Medtronic�(MDT). The decision stipulated an injunction against the sale of Medtronic�� Transcatheter valves, although the firm plans to appeal the ruling. (Medtronic, by contrast, was falling 4.2%.)
Analysts were weighing in on the decision today. Canaccord Genuity�� Jason Mills and Jeffery Chu reiterated a Buy rating and $84 price target on the stock, calling the court victory surprising and important:
While we believe EW has a better chance than we previously thought of being granted a permanent injunction against MDT, we still expect EW to ultimately cash in via other forms of equitable relief in lieu of a final injunction: (1) lump-sum future damages; and (2) continuing royalties. Importantly, none of these potential outcomes are factored into our forward model.
What�� more, EW will have at least one more shot at winning further concessions from MDT, as EW filed a motion seeking a permanent injunction against MDT following a mid-January finding that MDT willfully infringed EW�� Cribier TAVR patent. A jury awarded EW $393M at that time in this case. We had expected this award to be tied up in appeals for several years; however, EW could use its increased leverage to push MDT to pay sooner.
Stifel Nicolaus�� Robert Wise and his team were more cautiously positively: While maintaining a Buy rating and $75 price target on the stock, they note that they don�� want to adjust their numbers, as the saga of appeals and counterappeals will likely drag on through the court system for some time (although, if upheld, they note that Friday�� victory would help Edward LIfesciences maintain greater-than-expected market share).

Nevertheless, Rite Aid's relatively strong fiscal year 2013 results were driven by a number of one-time or short-term benefits. These items helped mask the company's fundamental competitive disadvantages vis-a-vis larger rivals Walgreen (NYSE: WAG ) and CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS ) . While Rite Aid could generate impressive stock returns in a best-case scenario, the company's poor competitive positioning creates substantial long-term risk for shareholders. Therefore, I still think investors would be wise to avoid the stock.

Yesterday after the market closed, small cap audio stock Skullcandy Inc (NASDAQ: SKUL) reported earnings and began rising in after hours trading, meaning its worth taking a closer look at the stock along with the performance of other audio stocks like mid cap Harman International Industries Inc (NYSE: HAR) and small caps Koss Corporation (NASDAQ: KOSS) and Parametric Sound Corp (NASDAQ: PAMT). I should mention that in�late 2012, Skullcandy had the dubious distinction of being the market�� most shorted stock (see: Long Live the Shorts or the Short Squeeze? SKUL, AM & UBNT) with short�interest of 86.47% and there would still be a lot of shorts out there who might start feeling the squeeze (Note: SKUL is at least no longer on the HighShortInterest.com list)
