Despite the crisis there are still companies at all-time highs and good dividends. I screened the capital market by stocks with high dividends (a yield of more than 5 percent) that are close to their 52-week highs (up to 5 percent below their 52-week high). against the recent sell-offs, 302 high yield stocks were technical resistant. In order to eliminate the risk of low capitalized stocks, I screened only stocks with a market capitalization of more than $10 billion. Twelve stocks remained.
