Best Dividend Investing Posts

As I post this I am sitting in a hotel room in Amsterdam trying to get my kids to be quiet and thinking about what we are going to sightsee tomorrow. Pretty cool city with what seems to be no sign of a recession or trouble.

Many of these are straight from member of Dividend Investing and Value Network (DIV-Net). I hope you can learn a little bit more about dividend investing from all of these articles, as I continue to do each and every week.

As with all the information on this blog, this is not a recommendation to buy these securities. Depending on my asset allocation, I am either:

    1) Using additional funds to buy more of the stocks or ETFs that are below my target asset allocation
    2) Selling partial amounts stocks or ETFs that represent too much of my portfolio
    3) Keeping things status quo and doing nothing

    Disclaimer: Before buying or selling any stock or ETF you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion. See my Disclaimer for more information.

    I assume it goes without saying, but I will say it anyway: This is not a recommendation to buy these securities. At any given time these stocks may or may not be on my “buy more” list. In addition, if they are not performing or worse, cutting their dividends then I may be selling. Disclaimer: Before buying or selling any stock or ETF you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion. See my Disclaimer for more information.

    To see these holdings, please look up into the top bar and click on Dividend Stock Holdings.

Recently I was using the software to screen for dividend stocks with a relatively high yield while providing strong growth at the same time. This can often be an investment-oxymoron as higher dividend stocks tend not to be the ones providing the stellar growth that can provide nice stock-price returns. That being said, here is a screen I recently put together that has a good dividend yield, dividend growth, and strong EPS growth.

    The Screening Criteria

    Here is a snapshot of the screening criteria that I built using the software package:
    AAII TDG Dividend ScreenClick to Enlarge

    The Results

  • McDonald’s Corporation (MCD)
  • Brookfield Properties Corporation (BPO)
  • Sunoco, Inc. (SUN)
  • Oil-Dri Corporation of America (ODC)
  • Chevron Corporation (CVX)
  • McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., (MHP)
  • Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment (DDE)

    • As with ALL stock screens, this is not intended to be a list of stocks to just head out and buy. The screen does not look at many other fundamentals such as debt-to-equity or even relevance (McGraw-Hill seems to be in a dying and changing industry). However, it might be a good start for some dividend stocks to further examine.
