I’m not a momentum trader who seeks the hottest investment opportunities over the short run. I am looking for high quality dividend paying stocks that hike cash payments to shareholders each year and plan to continue this for decades. For sure, there are not many corporate that can manage this need. Only 15 stocks or so have achieved to rise dividends year over year for more than 50 years.

I also look at stocks at new highs. I believe that it’s a good sign when the stock is near all time highs or close to new 52-Week Highs. Something must run well right and investors gift trust to the corporate. You should definitely care about a solid valuation and avoid it to buy stocks with higher P/E’s.

Today I would like to present you some higher capitalized High Yields that are a few percentage points below new 52-Week Highs. It should be possible that these stocks can hit new highs in the near future.

5 Dividend Shares At All-Time Highs

Stocks at All-Time-Highs originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I always look at stocks at new 52-Week Highs or All-Time-Highs. Those are the most wanted assets on the market.

Companies with a rising stock price show good signs of a healthy business and prospect a rosy future but it’s also dangerous to buy them at high P/E levels.

Think about Tesla or Apple, both hit week for week new highs over a long time and made many investors of the early stage investing era very rich but with a forward P/E of 83.87, Tesla is not cheap. You run into risk when you buy the shares at this price. The possibility to see the price you have paid never again is high. Apple however is valuated with a forward P/E of 12.55 and has a proven business model with a strong brand. Apple has definitely a lower risk profile than Tesla.

Recently, 14 companies hit a new All-Time-High. Five of the stocks pay dividends. You can find them in the attached list of stocks at new All-Time-Highs. One of the biggest companies is the oil and gas drilling and exploration stock, ConocoPhillips.
