Dividend Stock Investing For The Common Man

Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 8/5/13 to 8/9/13

2013-08-11T22:01:00.000-04:00

Welcome back to Dividend Stock Investing for the Common Man! Thank you stopping by and supporting the idea of investing in dividend paying stocks for the long term. I hope everyone had a great week!

I wanted to recap last week's picks for you since it is important to review all investments on a weekly, if not daily, basis. It was a 10 for 20 week. 50% of my picks increased in value. It was a decent week to invest in dividend paying stocks for both the NYSE and NASDAQ. A nice percentage of my stock picks increased in value. Now would be a good time to pick up these Dividend Aristocrats. Continue to pick up multiple shares these proven winners on any pull backs and hold for long haul. I am a long term bull!

See below for more details... as well as some wonderful YouTube videos pertaining to The Dow Chemical Company(NYSE:DOW) +$1.82 this week. Also, check out the books below. Very interesting reads!

DSIFTCM is NOT affiliated with any of these companies. I am not a professional stock picker and am only providing my personal opinions of some of the greatest dividend paying companies!

It is not how many times you win short term, but rather which investments can provide you with a steady income stream over the long term. When investing in dividend paying stocks you are protecting yourself from stock market volatility. If the market goes down one quarter, the dividend payment will help recoup the losses. Let these companies work hard so they can maintain their dividend and increase it year over year. As a shareholder, it is like receiving a raise each year. Reinvest your dividends to maximize your profits!

Keep investing as much as you can on a daily or weekly basis. Perform your due diligence and invest in companies that you feel comfortable with. Do not risk your hard earned dollars by investing in unknown, unreliable companies.

Always remember, YOU are in charge of your financial life. Do not let anyone tell you how to spend your money. We all have the knowledge and smarts inside of us. Make smart investments!

Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 8/5/13 to 8/9/13

2013-08-04T14:21:00.001-04:00

Listed below are my Dividend Stock investment selections for the Common Man's stock portfolio for the upcoming week of 8/5/13 to 8/9/13. Any one of these corporations will infuse a powerful wealth stream of cash into your Roth or Traditional IRA stock portfolio. It is fairly simple to invest your dollars into any one or all of these stocks by yourself, without the help of a Stock Broker, Financial Analyst or money hungry, high commission Wealth planners.

Please take time to re-balance your retirement portfolio, as well as perform any necessary due diligence on dividend paying stocks that you may want to add to your Roth IRA. Please do yourself a favor and reinvest all of the dividends that you are currently receiving right back into each company.

I will check back on 8/10/13 to determine how well or poor my picks performed. Continue to invest as much as you can each week to ensure that you have a solid dividend income stream to pay for your utilities, living expenses, etc. during your retirement years!

Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 7/8/13 to 7/12/13

2013-07-15T20:41:00.000-04:00

Welcome back to Dividend Stock Investing for the Common Man! Thank you stopping by and supporting the idea of investing in dividend paying stocks for the long term. I hope everyone had a great week!

I wanted to recap last week's picks for you since it is important to review all investments on a weekly, if not daily, basis. It was a 18 for 20 week. 90% of my picks increased in value. It was a fantastic week to invest in dividend paying stocks for both the NYSE and NASDAQ. A large percentage of my stock picks increased in value. Now would be a good time to pick up these Dividend Aristocrats. Continue to pick up multiple shares these proven winners on any pull backs and hold for long haul. I am a long term bull!

Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 6/3/13 to 6/7/13

2013-06-09T15:33:00.000-04:00

Welcome back to Dividend Stock Investing for the Common Man! Thank you stopping by and supporting the idea of investing in dividend paying stocks for the long term. I hope everyone had a great week!

I wanted to recap last week's picks for you since it is important to review all investments on a weekly, if not daily, basis. It was a 11 for 20 week. 55% of my picks increased in value. It was a great week to invest in dividend paying stocks for both the NYSE and NASDAQ. A decent percentage of my stock picks increased in value. Now would be a good time to pick up these Dividend Aristocrats at a discount. Continue to pick up multiple shares these proven winners on any pull backs and hold for long haul. I am a long term bull!
