Readers of my Dividend Growth Investor newsletter just received a list of ten dividend growth stocks I plan to purchase on today. This is a real money portfolio which I started in July, in an effort to educate investors on the process of building a portfolio to reach long-term objectives. I invest $1,000 in the ten companies I profile every single month, and let interested readers observe in real time how I build a dividend machine from scratch.
The report includes a detailed analysis of each company, using the methods I use to evaluate dividends for safety, valuation and whether dividend growth is on a solid footing. I used the same methods for building my dividend growth portfolio over the past decade.
The goal of the newsletter is to go beyond just identifying ten companies for investment every month. The real goal is to educate investors how real wealth can be built in the stock market. The process of building an income portfolio is very simple, but not easy. An investor simply needs to save money and put them to work in attractively valued stocks regularly. The next step involves reinvesting dividends either selectively or through a DRIP. The last step is the most exciting one – to patiently hold on to your collection of businesses for the long-term. To build a dividend machine, one has to arm themselves with a lot of patience and a long-term focus. This means avoiding the expensive habit of timing the market because it “looks high” or because “it is crashing”. Having the patience to hold on to your investments through thick or thin is a habit that is within the control of the investor.
I try to select companies that I believe will be around in a decade or so, and will be more profitable and pay higher dividend payments along the way. I also evaluate dividends for safety. I focus on valuation today as well as long-term fundamentals. Without growth in fundamentals, and the ability of the business to grow them over time, the companies I invest in will be unable to achieve future dividend growth. As a long-term investor, I buy companies to hold for years if not decades. This is not a newsletter where I will buy securities with the intent of selling them a few months later.
The price for the monthly subscription is just $6/month to new subscribers who sign up for the service.
The price for the annual subscription is only $65/year for new subscribers. If you subscribe at the low introductory rate today, the price will never increase for you.
I offer a 7 day free trial for new readers. If you want to give my newsletter a try, you may do so by signing up below:
Each month, I will be allocating $1,000 to my dividend portfolio by buying stakes in ten attractively valued companies. The newsletter will include information on the companies I am purchasing, along with a brief analysis of each company.
The ultimate goal of the portfolio is to generate $1,000 in monthly dividend income.
I plan to track this portfolio in real time over the next few years, and track our progress towards our goal.
Thank you for reading Dividend Growth Investor.
