There are 3 Words in Dividend Growth

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy

I decided I didn’t have enough from the article I wrote last week about dividend reports. Last week, I knew I was opening a can of worm when I wrote that I don’t understand the importance of tracking my dividend income on a monthly basis. While the discussion was very interesting on this blog, I got crucified for blasphemy on Seeking Alpha when they republished my article (at least they thought it was good enough to be read! Hahaha!). Don’t worry, I’m not going to go back to this post to defend …

Blog, Investing Strategy

The stock market is trading at its highest level ever; valuation multiples are increasing, it almost smells like food burning in the oven if you ask the “Swan Fans”.

When is the right time to invest?” Here’s my straight to the point answer: The best time to invest was yesterday; If you didn’t do it yesterday, then …

Dividend Income Report; The Good… and the Bad

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy

I’m pretty sure you don’t solely read this blog if you are interested in dividend investing. Among your weekly reads, you probably include other great dividend blogs such as the ones I mention on my stock website resource page.   Have you noticed something very common? Most bloggers report their monthly dividend income. I noticed throughout the years that many dividend investors focus on dividend income and not total return. For them, it doesn’t really matter if their capital grew or …

Performance Report – 3 Months after My Best Dividend Stocks Picks

Best Dividend stocks, Blog, Investing Strategy

I must tell you upfront, I’m very proud to present my results after the first quarter of 2015. In fact, I’m REALLY proud since very few bloggers have the guts to post such bold confidence at the beginning of the year and post their updated results throughout the year as well. It’s easy to “hide” behind a solid stock analysis and without mention of what you expect from the stock price this year. It’s also very easy to pull out a list of the “top 10 dividend yield growers for the …

What Would You Do With 10K?

Blog, Investing Strategy

A week ago, it was payday. But not just any ordinary payday, the big one! My year-end bonus was deposited in my bank account. The product of a long and hard year where I truly earned each dollar. Why do I do that? I’ll tell you here; it’s my little secret ;-). I’m not the kind of guy who wants to win contests (been there, done that), not the guy who wants to tell all his colleagues he’s the best and not the guy who’s looking for my boss’ appreciation. I’m simply the kind of guy who works hard to …
