Top 10 High Dividend Stocks To Own For 2014

Until the big swoon on Friday, the stock market had been crushing just about every bullish investor's wildest dreams for positive returns, with nearly a couple dozen new record highs so far during the year. For those who believed that May would finally mark the end of the long four-year bull market, the month's overall performance was disappointing, as the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) gained almost 2% during May.

But just because the overall average rose doesn't mean that every company shared its good fortune. Fully a third of the Dow's 30 components lost ground during the month. Let's take a look at the four that lost more than 5% on the month to see what we can identify from their performance.

Verizon (NYSE: VZ  ) , down 10.1%, and AT&T (NYSE: T  ) , down 6.6%
Addressing both of the Dow's telecom giants makes sense given the common traits they share. Both of them have high dividends and rely on their extensive wireless networks for large portions of their revenue, and both have made huge investments in building up those networks over time. As a result, both were vulnerable when one analyst argued that Google Fiber could challenge the entire way that the two telecoms offer triple-play video, voice, and data to their customers. In addition, though, the drop in the bond market over the past week also isolated the two high-dividend payers, as higher interest rates make the value of the discounted stream of future revenue the two telecom giants earn less valuable in terms of present value. Neither AT&T nor Verizon need to worry about competition too much right now, but further bond-market weakness could push shares downward even from these lower levels.

  www.ea.com There were plenty of winners and losers this week, including a merger of two fast-growing real estate website operators and a theme park operator taking another hit. Here's a rundown of the week's smartest moves and biggest blunders. Tesla Motors (TSLA) -- Winner The country's coolest automaker -- and one of the hottest stocks over the past two years -- continues to grow in popularity. The maker of luxury plug-in electric cars posted a better than expected adjusted profit in its latest quarter, with revenue nearly doubling. Tesla is on track to deliver 35,000 of its Model S sedans this year. It also announced on Thursday that it expects to produce 60,000 cars next year as the Model X crossover joins its lineup. Tesla's rich multiples aren't for the squeamish, but the company seems to be revolutionizing the automotive industry. One can only imagine how things will be when it starts rolling out its more reasonably priced Model III car in three years. SeaWorld (SEAS) -- Loser SeaWorld can't seem to catch a break, even when misfortune results in denial. SeaWorld and Southwest Airlines (LUV) are ending their marketing partnership after 26 years. The relationship had Southwest promoting the marine life theme park operator on some of its planes and SeaWorld offering Southwest-branded relaxation and charging stations. Anti-SeaWorld protestors had demonstrated at Southwest's headquarters earlier this year, and more than 32,000 people had signed an online petition at change.org urging the air carrier to end its association with SeaWorld. However, this already unfortunate story makes the cut this week because of SeaWorld's explanation on why the two companies will part ways when the latest contract is up at the end of the year. "With an increasing international visitor base, SeaWorld is looking to focus on new and growing markets in Latin America and Asia, among others," SeaWorld explains in a joint statement with Southwest, almost as if it's saying that

Advisors' Opinion:

  Another under-$10 name in the energy space that's starting to move within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Forest Oil (FST), which is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of natural gas and liquids in North America. This stock has been under selling pressure so far in 2013, with shares off by 16%.

  If you take a look at the chart for Forest Oil, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending strong for the last two months, with shares moving higher from its low o $3.77 to its recent high of $5.73 a share. During that move, shares of FST have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. This stock has now started to spike back above its 200-day moving average of $5.52 a share and it's quickly moving within range of triggering a big breakout trade.

  Market players should now look for long-biased trades in FST if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $5.73 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 3.77 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then FST will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $6.52 to $7.40 a share.

  Traders can look to buy FST off weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some near-term support at $5.32 a share or below its 50-day at $5.01 a share. One can also buy FST off strength once it clears $5.73 a share with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
