Hello Dividend Investors!

 

I know I’ve been quite silent on my blog in December, but this is because I was working very hard behind the scenes to come up with two major announcements!

For a third year in a row, I’ve produced my Best 2014 Dividend Stock Picks Book. This is a compilation of 20 US dividend stocks and 10 Canadian dividend stocks with one pager analysis for each pick.

In 2012, I almost matched the US market and beat the Canadian market by more than 8%.

In 2013, I beat both US and Canadian market by far.

What will happen in 2014? Keep reading and you will see!

2013 Best Dividend Stock Picks Results – How I Beat the Market by FAR!

2013 was an amazing year on the stock market for many investors. You may tell me it’s easy to have a good year when the market is so bullish. But were you able to beat the market? I have beaten both US and Canadian markets with my selection.

There is nothing easier than clicking on the “buy” button of your brokerage account page. The problem is what to buy and when to buy it. The other problem investors face is the lack of time to analyze the thousands of stocks available. I guess this is why stock screeners were invented. Then again, one must know how to use them correctly. Prior to writing this book, I used the techniques described in my book; Dividend Growth: Freedom through Passive Income. Here are a few ratios I looked at:

Dividend yield over 2.5%

Positive 5 year dividend growth

Dividend payout ratio under 75%

Return on equity (ROE) over 10%

Positive 5 year annual income growth rate

Current price / earnings ratio (PE) under 20

This foundation of my investment research is how I start each year on my journey to find the most profitable companies for the upcoming 12 months. Sometimes, I cheat and ignore one or two of these rules to generate even bigger returns (but with more risk).

Now What are The Best Dividend Stocks for 2014?

Based on the same investment research premise, I worked throughout the month of December analyzing different companies. This has been quite a challenge as many good dividend stocks are now fairly or overpriced due to 2 years of very strong bull market. Where do you find a good buying opportunity? How much should you pay for it? When should you pull the buy trigger?

I definitely ran into quite a challenge as I wanted to pick 20 US dividend stocks and 10 from the Canadian market.

When you read a title like “Best 2014 Dividend Stocks” you probably think that I’m pulling out the top 20 American and the top 10 Canadian dividend stocks that will outperform the overall stock market. The goal is obviously to beat the indexes but I’m also focusing on the global results of these stocks.

I wanted to write a book about stocks that, combined together, could generate an interesting result as a whole. I have always found as an investor, pulling the trigger and buying a single stock was easy. Building a strong portfolio where stocks could balance themselves out during different markets (bullish or bearish, stable or volatile) is quite a challenge. This is the reason why I didn’t only focus on the numbers or on a specific aspect (growth potential, high dividend yield, etc). I tried to put a combination of companies that could weather most economic situations.

This means that you will find stocks that should outperform the stock market if we are bullish while others will outperform if we enter a bear market too. Some companies will show awesome sales growth and you can expect both dividends and stock values to rise. Others have mature business models with strong dividend growth habits, but don’t get too excited with the potential for stock appreciation.

As a teaser, you can see five US and three Canadian dividend stocks from my Best 2014 Dividend Stocks Book. Just click below to share this post and unlock the image:
