Investors normally love stocks which have a record of both long-term profitability and high dividend yield. These stocks best suit long-term and income investors. In order to choose the stocks that fit the above criteria, I set the screening parameters with three main following points: 1) profitable for the last five years, 2) at least 10% return on equity for the last five years, and 3) current dividend yield at least 12%.

Here are the four candidates: Portugal Telecom SA (PT), Life Partners Holdings (LPHI), Shipment Finance International (SFL) and Great Northern Iron Ore (GNI).
