Stocks with Very High Yields Close to One-Year Highs Researched by long-term-investments.blogspot.com

I love stocks with very high yields, yields of more than 10 percent yearly and 2.5 percent quarter dividend but I also hate stocks with a bad stock performance.

I made a screen of stocks with very high yields as well as a stock price close to 52-Week Highs (up to five percent below high). Fourteen companies fulfilled the screening criteria. From the results are 10 stocks with a current buy or better recommendation.
