Hot Performing Stocks To Own For 2014

I have searched for highly profitable companies that pay very rich dividends and that are in a short-term uptrend and in a mid-term uptrend. Stocks in an uptrend are performing well and are in a buying mode. Those stocks would also have to show a very low trailing and forward P/E ratio.

I have elaborated a screening method, which shows stock candidates following these lines. Nonetheless, the screening method should only serve as a basis for further research. All the data for this article were taken from Yahoo Finance and finviz.com. The screen's formula requires all stocks to comply with all following demands:

The forward dividend yield is greater than 3.90%. The payout ratio is less than 85%. Trailing P/E is less than 12. Forward P/E is less than 12. The stock price is above the 20-day simple moving average (short-term uptrend). The stock price is above the 50-day simple moving average (mid-term uptrend).

After running this screen on August 16, 2013, before the market open, I discovered the following four stocks:
