My Top Dividend Stock For April
After yet another booming month on the market, believe it or not, there are still some good dividend stock discounts out there to be found, but this is my top dividend stock for April 2024.
This Dividend Stock Just Doesn't Quit
In the few short years that I’ve been investing, none of my dividend stocks have moved with the ferocity that Williams-Sonoma (WSM) has. But what exactly is driving this success story? This newsletter delves into the company a bit more.
The Divine Power of Dividends
When share prices seem to be doing nothing but going up, it's understandable if you’re starting to feel the fear of missing out. During these times, it helps to listen to the advice of John Bogle, the founder of Vanguard, who said that “dividends are an investor’s best friend.”
Two HUGE Dividend Income Milestones
Dividend investing consists of a series of small victories, two of which I recently experienced in my portfolio.
My Top Dividend Stock For March
In the last month, there were quite a handful of stocks that saw more red than a Minor Threat concert, but this is my top dividend stock for March 2024.
3 Key Steps To Avoid Dividend Cuts
While it’s true that dividend cuts do sometimes come out of nowhere, there are a few key signs to watch for that can suggest a higher degree of dividend safety.
How To Make Your Portfolio Invincible
By understanding what never changes about human behavior (things like fear, greed, etc.), you can build a more durable dividend portfolio. Risk, recessions, and stock market crashes can never be fully controlled or eliminated, but they can be anticipated.
WARNING: It’s A Dividend Yield Trap
A dividend yield trap is a situation where an attractively high dividend yield masks underlying issues within a company, eventually leading to disappointment for investors. Fortunately, dividend yield traps can be pretty easy to identify.
The "Boring Middle" of Investing
You know how it goes: You start something new, and at first, it's super exciting—maybe even a bit obsessive. But after a while, whatever that thing is starts to lose its luster, and you find yourself in this "boring middle" where things begin to feel more routine, and possibly a bit monotonous. I think every investor reaches this “boring middle” in their dividend investing journey (probably more than once) and this is how it happens.
My Top Dividend Stock For February
While there are actually quite a few good looking dividend stock deals on the market right now, one in particular has captured my attention and, more importantly, my investment dollars. This is my top dividend stock for February 2024.
The Longevity Dividend
In 2021, people around the world were living, on average, just over 70 years. That’s pretty amazing when you consider that only 200 years ago, people were only making it to about half that age. This remarkable increase is thanks to various improvements in science, healthcare, and global living conditions, along with something called "The Longevity Dividend.”
Every Investor Should Do More of This In 2024
Charlie Munger was a voracious reader, and used to say that investing is a subset of "worldly wisdom." He also said that, "If it’s wisdom you are after, you are going to spend a lot of time sitting on your a** and reading.” So, connecting the dots here, becoming a wise and experienced investor is going to require an immense amount of reading, which makes sense, and is an idea that all investors should pay attention to.
My Dividend Investing Goals For 2024
As we close out 2023, and gear up for what's sure to be another interesting ride in 2024, I wanted to spill the beans on my dividend investing goals for the upcoming year.
Is It Too Late To Start Investing?
I recently got an email from a member of our community here. He’s 40 years old, so 10 years older than me, and instead of getting excited about what lies ahead, he's worried about the future of his dividend stock portfolio.
I’m Making A BIG CHANGE To My Portfolio
They say your portfolio is like a bar of soap – the more you handle it, the smaller it gets. I'm a firm believer in that analogy, and try my best not to tinker with my dividend stock portfolio too much. Yet, every now and then, change becomes inevitable.
The Most Important Question For Every Investor
One of the hardest parts about dividend investing is learning how to analyze a company and knowing what to look for, especially if you’ve never done it before. This is step #1 in my own dividend stock research process.
A Dividend Investor's Greatest Ally
Building wealth with dividend investing is a slow burn. If you’re starting from scratch, it will realistically take a number of years for your dividend snowball to really take off. Many people don’t want to hear that. Many prefer a quicker process, and are looking for the fast track to financial freedom, but that’s not really how it works.
BLESSED BY DIVIDENDS
As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to express my gratitude for this incredible journey we embark on together as dividend investors. This year has been rewarding in more ways than one, and I'm excited to share some of the reasons why I'm feeling thankful this year.
I’m Going To Sell This Dividend ETF
Parting ways with a stock is never easy. We dividend investors typically buy with the intent to hold forever – or at least until the dividends stop flowing. With that said, it’s easy to get attached to the dividend stocks you hold, but it’s also important to know when to fold ‘em.
The Key To Avoiding Dividend Cuts
Dividend cuts are the worst, and if you plan on investing for any extended amount of time, you're likely to experience at least one of them yourself.
