Companies with a well-running businesses and brightening perspectives normally have a strong demand and their share price tends to one-year highs. As of today, the central banks are flooding the markets with cheap money and many stocks have shown a wonderful performance over the recent months due to the capital injections.


I screened the stock market by large capitalized stocks with a yield over three percent that are still buy-able in terms of price-to-earnings (P/E ratio below 20). Finally, the stock should have crossed new highs. Thirteen companies remained of which eight are recommended to buy.


Here are my favorite stocks:
