5 Big Dividend Payers With Rising Share Prices

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Top yielding stocks trending higher in price is the gold standard in investing. One of the motivating reasons people self-direct their portfolio is to outperform the big money managers.

We all know it's not easy to find high yielding stocks that are also increasing in price, but here is a list of stocks doing just that.

I begin by reviewing companies I already either trade or follow and have a large dividend. I add in a screen for large yield stocks and add the ones that meet the following criteria:

Easy to get in and out of with lots of liquidity, and trade with a small bid-ask spread to avoid slippage

The company must have a solid history of dividends with the earnings to pay them

I must believe the company will continue paying the current dividend or more

The chart pattern must be moving from the bottom left to the top right; there is no point in looking for an oversized yield if the shares are expected to drop as much or more in the next year

How does an investor use this list of dividend stock ideas? This should be your starting point, not an end-all for your research. Make sure the industry and the company is a match for your investment objectives. Use your current professional knowledge as applicable to garner a market edge when entering or exiting a position.
