There are currently 10 stocks with double-digit yields on the ASX, exactly half the amount there was this time last year.
While double-digit yields certainly sound enticing, investors should be aware that they could indicate that the market believes a company has limited growth prospects, a falling share price, or a one-off dividend.
For those not in the know, dividend yield is calculated by adding up all the dividends (both special and normal) paid over the last 12 months and then dividing that value by a stock's current share price.

They also each name a stock they are backing - which surprisingly, are both incredibly similar - for attractive income over the next few years.
