Most average people stink at investing and tend to underperform the market, in turn missing out on additional dollars in their pockets. Successful investors follow very simple strategies of investing in high quality companies, buying them at a fair price and holding onto their positions for a very long time. What if we could replicate this investing approach with a set of rules. Rules based investing can make a lot of sense as it removes emotions and bias from the decision process. Let me show you what this looks like with the latest rules based model portfolio I am designing.I hope you enjoy!

Have you ever wondered if there are stocks that consistently deliver market beating returns? I found 5 dividend stocks that have a perfect record of outperforming the S&P 500 since their inception. A perfect winning streak like this is not easy to achieve and these companies deserve your attention. If these companies have successfully delivered such strong returns for decades, perhaps they can continue doing so for years to come in the future.

If you're looking to replace your income with passive dividend, I believe SCHD is one of the best dividend growth funds to help you do so. It won't replace your income the fastest, it can't really compete with some of the covered call ETFs that lure investors with very high dividend yields. But SCHD has two major benefits that most other dividend funds do not. Join me to find out what they are!I hope you enjoy the content!Free Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YyQ08KQD7R--lmO6dwjee9-_SXFPdZRcpfCB3lgZaNg/copy?usp=sharing

I tested the PE Multiple and Dividend Yield Theory to see which valuation method was able to deliver more alpha.

I also provide some insights on how you can apply this data to potentially add a little alpha in your portfolio as well.

If you're wondering how long it'll take you to replace your active income with passive dividend income, this calculator may help you out. Living off dividends is one of the main goals for most dividend investors. Planning on how long it'll take to reach this goal is also a very important part of your investing strategy. Should you aim for a higher yield or more growth?

Something magical happens to your investment every 7 years. For SCHD it has happened a little faster, about every 6 years or so. This isn't necessarily because SCHD has been a better than average fund to invest in, but more so because the past decade has been a great time to be invested in the market in general. I believe SCHD is one of the best dividend growth funds on the market. It's a low cost fund with an attractive dividend yield and above average dividend growth history. I also think it will continue to deliver strong returns to patient shareholders that have a long-term outlook.I hope you enjoy the content!Quality At A Fair Price - Newsletter: https://substack.com/home/post/p-139973056?source=queue

Every dividend investor loves monthly dividend stocks. What's not to love about receiving your dividend income more frequently. But not all monthly dividend stocks and funds are equal. Monthly dividend payers have gained much popularity recently and the newest offerings are promising ever higher dividend yields. I'm more of an old school investor, while I seek a healthy dividend yield I also like to see capital appreciation from my dividend stocks. Today I want to tell you about my 3 favorite monthly paying REITs that have historically crushed the S&P 500. And I want to show you how you can value any REIT with the help of my freshly minted valuation tool specifically designed just for REITs. I hope you enjoy!

Do you like investing in dividend growth stocks that have a history of crushing market returns all the while paying you handsome and growing dividends. The best type of dividend growth stock is a boring dividend growth stock. It's not flashy, its not on headline news but these quiet companies crush the market behind the scenes while flashy investors ride the volatility train pushed by mainstream media. Today I want to talk about a boring dividend stock that I personally own and one I have added to recently and may continue to do so in the near future if the valuation continues to make sense. Enjoy!

There are many popular valuation models for dividend stocks like the dividend discount model or the discounted cash flow model. But they all require you to gather data and think about the how fast a given company can grow in the future. I prefer to use Dividend Yield Theory as my main valuation technique for dividend stocks. It is significantly easier to put together, doesn't require you to come up with any growth rates and can be done in as little as a few seconds. If you can run your valuation model faster then you will have more time to spend reviewing the underlying business.In this episode I talk about dividend yield theory and I put it through the ringer to see not only whether it works but also how efficient its application would have been historically. I think you'll enjoy this analysis!

Today I want to talk to you about the 4% Rule and how you can use it to help you figure out how much you need to retire. I also want to show you exactly how it works and whether or not it would have worked out well with a simple portfolio of stocks and bonds. I'll also compare the results to those of a more aggressive investment strategy so you can see the differences. I hope you enjoy!

I was curious which style of investing is superior, lump sum investing or dollar cost averaging. So I decided to test it for myself and I'd like to share the results and my thoughts on the topic with you today. If you don't know the difference between these two approaches to investing I'll explain that as well. I'll show you the difference in long term returns for each style of investing into the S&P 500 and we will run through a case study for SCHD under a fixed set of parameters. I hope you enjoy!

In November of last year I launched my 4 factor dividend growth portfolio built on a modified SCHD stock selection process. It is outperforming the S&P 500 index during the last 10 months and delivering better returns than I expected. It is a passive approach to stock selection and I'm optimistic it can deliver excellent long term results. I hope you enjoy the review.

I've made a few enhancements to the original SCHD and QQQ calculator that I shared with the community a week ago. In this calculator not only can you test a mock portfolio of SCHD and QQQ, you can include up to 5 different ETFs or individual stocks. I pre-populated the list of available ETFs to test with 21 popular dividend growth ETFs, a few technology ETFs and some high yield dividend ETFs. You can also easily add any ETF or individual stock that you want. I hope you like the spreadsheet and use it for motivation on your investing journey! Enjoy!

A recent comment on my channel by tommyron251 proposed an 80/20 SCHD and QQQ portfolio. I dug into this hypothetical combination of funds and it has proven to work exceptionally well historically both in terms of total returns and dividend income. But how will these two funds perform going forward is the important question. I built a free tool to test the hypothetical returns of investing in SCHD and QQQ that I would like to share with you today. You can download a free version of this calculator using the link below.

Each month I run a screening process to find the top 10 best high yield dividend stocks for the given month. These high yield dividend stocks are selected based on the best combination of business quality and valuation with a focus on future returns. My minimum dividend yield threshold for this watchlist is 2.75% but often the average dividend yield presented is around 4.82%. Additionally the selected stocks offer above average dividend growth for the yield they currently pay. I use this monthly watchlist to identify potential stocks to add to my portfolio. And I share this process here with you so that you can see how it works and perhaps improve your strategy as a result. Enjoy!

You've probably heard that most investors and professional fund managers alike cannot beat the S&P 500 in the long run. This is true, but did you ever wonder why its so hard to beat the S&P? When we look back at historical returns all of the paths that would have outperformed the S&P look obvious. The problem is that everything looks clear in hindsight, but when you're acting in the present things tend to get a bit more complicated. Today I want to share with you one of the factors that makes it very difficult to beat the S&P in the long run. I hope you enjoy!

There's a new craze in the passive dividend investing arena and its super sizing your cash flow by using covered call options. Whether you sell the options yourself or invest in an ETF that does the heavy lifting for you, the appeal of generating yield of 10% or 20% even 30% sounds very appealing. Today I want to talk about selling covered call options and investing in some of the ETFs that leverage these strategies. I believe you should know exactly how this strategy works and whether it works well in the long run before you decide if its right for you. Enjoy!

Many investors compare their personal returns to other investors or popular benchmarks like the S&P 500. But did you know that you may not be comparing apples to apples? The methodology used to compute the rate of return for a personal portfolio is not the same as the one used to track the performance of an index. If you're making such comparisons you need to understand the difference between a money weighted rate of return and a time weighted rate of return. I hope you enjoy the content!

In November of last year I launched my 4 factor dividend growth portfolio built on a modified SCHD stock selection process. The portfolio got off to a nice start, outpacing the S&P 500 by 7.66% in November. In December it added 0.28% to this outperformance. January and February saw some of the alpha disappear but we are back on track in March beating the S&P by 0.29%. I really like this dividend growth stock selection process and I'm excited to see what this portfolio can deliver during its first year. I hope you enjoy the review.First Video on 4 Factor DGR Strategy:https://youtu.be/9o-WacpBJ_MThis episode was originally broadcast on my YouTube channel if you'd prefer to consume the content in video format you can use the link belowhttps://youtu.be/FuvPC9Z9ayEM1 Finance referral link:https://m1.finance/UNbCUpuP36lmHere is a link to my YouTube channel if you'd like to see more content from mehttps://www.youtube.com/c/LongacresFinanceAnd a link to my Patreon page if you feel inclined to support the channel https://www.patreon.com/LongacresFinanceDisclaimer: This is intended for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as investment advice.

SCHD is one of the best dividend growth ETFs and it is very popular amongst dividend investors, and rightfully so. SCHD offers a very attractive dividend yield and has a history of above average dividend growth. On top of this it has rivaled the capital appreciation of the S&P 500 when measured on total return. But there is a way to complement SCHD with another ETF to see better long term returns and generate more dividend income in the long run. I hope you like the analysis!

Each month I run a screening process to find the top 10 best high yield dividend stocks for the given month. These high yield dividend stocks are selected based on the best combination of business quality and valuation with a focus on future returns. My minimum dividend yield threshold for this watchlist is 2.75% but often the average dividend yield presented is around 5.36%. Additionally the selected stocks offer above average dividend growth for the yield they currently pay. I use this monthly watchlist to identify potential stocks to add to my portfolio. And I share this process here with you so that you can see how it works and perhaps improve your strategy as a result. Enjoy!

Since the dawn of the stock market people have tried countless methods of achieving better than average results. Today I'm going to show you one very simple method that works great and leads to better than average returns. I'll show you a real example using the popular dividend growth ETF ticker symbol SCHD. And how using this very easy strategy led to 3% higher returns since the funds inception. No strategy is perfect and this method has its shortcomings like the rest, I'll touch on that as well. I hope you enjoy the content because I enjoyed the analysis and putting it together.

Dividend aristocrats finished last year ahead of the broad market and I believe they are some of the best dividend stocks to invest in for the long term. Dividend aristocrats are some of the safest and most reliable dividend stocks on the market. To become an aristocrat a company must have a streak of growing dividend income for at least 25 consecutive years. Anyone looking to start a dividend portfolio should be familiar with the dividend aristocrats and the benefits they can offer. I came up with 3 unique simple strategies to select the best dividend aristocrats each month. I believe that over a longer period of time each of these simple methods can deliver alpha over NOBL the dividend aristocrat ETF. Investing in individual stocks can carry more risk than investing in a broad index and you need to determine the best course of action for you. Join me to find out how my simple strategies work and which dividend aristocrats are the best in March 2023!

The dividend aristocrats are an elite group of dividend stocks with a history of at least 25 years of consecutive dividend growth. This measure alone makes them excellent dividend stocks to consider for your portfolio. But as investors we always seek a better way to find dividend stocks. Instead of thinking of random ways to select stocks its best to borrow or built upon already existing strategies that are proven to work. That's exactly what I did I merged SCHD's stock selection methodology with the Dividend Aristocrats. I launched this mock portfolio on November 1st, 2022. Today I want to share the initial results with you and give you a look at the actual portfolio. I also built a second portfolio using slightly modified stock selection criteria to put my own twist on this strategy. I hope you enjoy!

Dividend aristocrats are fairing better than the broad market this year and I believe they are some of the best dividend stocks to invest in for the long term. Dividend aristocrats are some of the safest and most reliable dividend stocks on the market. To become an aristocrat a company must have a streak of growing dividend income for at least 25 consecutive years. Anyone looking to start a dividend portfolio should be familiar with the dividend aristocrats and the benefits they can offer. I came up with 3 unique simple strategies to select the best dividend aristocrats each month. I believe that over a longer period of time each of these simple methods can deliver alpha over NOBL the dividend aristocrat ETF. Investing in individual stocks can carry more risk than investing in a broad index and you need to determine the best course of action for you. Join me to find out how my simple strategies work and which dividend aristocrats are the best in January 2023!This episode was originally broadcast on my YouTube channel if you'd prefer to consume the content in video format you can use the link belowhttps://youtu.be/MozEo9ppFukM1 Finance referral link:https://m1.finance/UNbCUpuP36lmHere is a link to my YouTube channel if you'd like to see more content from mehttps://www.youtube.com/c/LongacresFinanceAnd a link to my Patreon page if you feel inclined to support the channelhttps://www.patreon.com/LongacresFinanceDisclaimer: This is intended for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as investment advice.

Best Buy is one of my core holdings, I really like this dividend growth stock. Today I wanted to share with you a recent valuation test I performed on this dividend growth stock. I used dividend yield theory, a dividend discount model and a discounted cash flow model to see how attractively valued the company's stock is. Hope you enjoy!This episode was originally broadcast on my YouTube channel if you'd prefer to consume the content in video format you can use the link belowhttps://youtu.be/upJ1S5N3OCkM1 Finance referral link:https://m1.finance/UNbCUpuP36lmHere is a link to my YouTube channel if you'd like to see more content from mehttps://www.youtube.com/c/LongacresFinanceAnd a link to my Patreon page if you feel inclined to support the channelhttps://www.patreon.com/LongacresFinanceDisclaimer: This is intended for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as investment advice.

I came across a study about how much dividend income was paid by all US companies in 2021, the figure was $522.7 billion dollars. That is a lot of money! How much of this income distribution ended up in your pocket? I know not much was paid directly to me. This study got me thinking about what I can do today to make sure more dividend income flows in my direction in the future. I performed some analysis on the dividend aristocrats to find trends between a high dividend yield and a high dividend growth rate that would optimize the most dividend income in the long run. I hope you enjoy the results!This episode was originally broadcast on my YouTube channel if you'd prefer to consume the content in video format you can use the link belowhttps://youtu.be/NWp_gAlvNSAM1 Finance referral link:https://m1.finance/UNbCUpuP36lmHere is a link to my YouTube channel if you'd like to see more content from mehttps://www.youtube.com/c/LongacresFinanceAnd a link to my Patreon page if you feel inclined to support the channelhttps://www.patreon.com/LongacresFinanceDisclaimer: This is intended for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as investment advice.

Each month I run a screening process to find the top 10 best high yield dividend stocks for the given month. These high yield dividend stocks are selected based on the best combination of business quality and valuation with a focus on future returns. My minimum dividend yield threshold for this watchlist is 2.75% but often the average dividend yield presented is around 4.51%. Additionally the selected stocks offer above average dividend growth for the yield they currently pay. I use this monthly watchlist to identify potential stocks to add to my portfolio. And I share this process here with you so that you can see how it works and perhaps improve your strategy as a result. Enjoy!

I look for quality dividend stocks trading for attractive prices and hold these positions for a very long time.

Investing can be scary and confusing for new and seasoned investors alike, but it doesn't have to be. Simple investing strategies using funds like SCHD, that will give you market average results can produce fantastic outcomes. SCHD is anything but average when it comes to dividend growth funds but compared to the broad market it has historically offered average rates of total return. I want to show you that you don't have to swing for the fences with your investing strategy to achieve great results. I'll walk you through a few hypothetical scenarios with SCHD, compare SCHD to a high yield dividend fund and talk a little bit about my investing journey. Enjoy!

There are 158 Dividend ETFs traded on US markets with a combined $349 billion in assets under management. But these funds are not all equal in terms of the fees they charge, the dividend yield they offer and the performance they have generated.

You've probably seen an uptick of articles and videos talking about the stock market crash in 2023 being the worst we will ever see! I, like all of the doomsday predictors, don't know what will happen next week not to mention next year. But I am very confident that long term investing will yield positive results. History doesn't always repeat, but the past 100 years show us that even the worst bear market crashes did not yield negative stock market returns if you stay invested long enough. The question is how long is long enough, and how long do you have. I want to show you a few statistics today to ease your mind if you are worried about whats going on in the market today.

The dividend aristocrats are an elite group of dividend stocks with a history of at least 25 years of consecutive dividend growth. This measure alone makes them excellent dividend stocks to consider for your portfolio. But as investors we always seek a better way to find dividend stocks. Instead of thinking of random ways to select stocks its best to borrow or built upon already existing strategies that are proven to work. After my last video I was curious how difficult it would be to borrow SCHD's strategy or rather the strategy of its underlying index, the Dow Jones US Dividend 100 Index. And apply this stock selection process to the Dividend Aristocrats. It turns out that it's not difficult at all. Here are the results and what I intend to do with them. Enjoy!

Do you want to build a dividend portfolio but don't know where to start? I want to share my thoughts on what you should think about and consider before you embark on this process. Maybe you already have a dividend portfolio but you're not content with how it's structured or performing. It always a good idea to evaluate your portfolio from time to time to make sure it aligns with your short and long term goals. Part of this episode talks about the things to consider but I also build a sample dividend portfolio as part of the process to show you how to do it. I hope you find value in this content.

There are few things I like more than watching my dividend income grow. To enjoy a strong dividend growth rate you first need to find the best dividend growth stocks. Here are my 15 best dividend growth stocks that I will be considering for my personal portfolio in September 2022. Dividend investors often have to chose between dividend yield or dividend growth, and I believe a sweet balance of both should fit into all dividend portfolios. My search for the best dividend growth stocks begins by identifying high quality companies that are poised to continue growing in the future and can offer me a safe place to invest my hard earned money. Check out the video if you'd like to know more about my process and my favorite dividend growth stocks right now.

Each month I run a screening process to find the top 10 best high yield dividend stocks for the given month. These high yield dividend stocks are selected based on the best combination of business quality and valuation with a focus on future returns. My minimum dividend yield threshold for this watchlist is 2.75% but often the average dividend yield presented is around 4%. Additionally the selected stocks offer above average dividend growth for the yield they currently pay. I use this monthly watchlist to identify potential stocks to add to my portfolio. And I share this process here with you so that you can see how it works and perhaps improve your strategy as a result. Enjoy!

Which dividend stock is better: HD or LOW? Both home improvement giants are wonderful dividend growth stocks with long histories of paying and growing their dividends. But which one was a better investment? That's what I dig into in this episode. We take a look at the dividend growth story of each company and compare them side by side. I then backtested a one time lump sum investment and a dollar cost averaging strategy to see which stock paid more dividend income. At the end I also make some forward looking assumptions to see which dividend stock may be a better investment going forward.

Dividend aristocrats are fairing better than the broad market this year and I believe they are some of the best dividend stocks to invest in for the long term. Dividend aristocrats are some of the safest and most reliable dividend stocks on the market. To become an aristocrat a company must have a streak of growing dividend income for at least 25 consecutive years. Anyone looking to start a dividend portfolio should be familiar with the dividend aristocrats and the benefits they can offer. I came up with 3 unique simple strategies to select the best dividend aristocrats each month. I believe that over a longer period of time each of these simple methods can deliver alpha over NOBL the dividend aristocrat ETF. Investing in individual stocks can carry more risk than investing in a broad index and you need to determine the best course of action for you. Join me to find out how my simple strategies work and which dividend aristocrats are the best in September 2022!

Dividend aristocrats are arguably the best and safest dividend stocks on the market. Each dividend aristocrat has a streak of at least 25 years of dividend growth, with many having streaks that are far longer. The easiest way to invest in the dividend aristocrats is through the ProShares ETF ticker symbol NOBL. The Fund isn't performing so great this year but is doing twice as good as the S&P 500. Long term NOBL has rewarded patient dividend investors with an 11.14% annualized rate of return. Today I want to take a look at the best and worst performing dividend aristocrats this year. I'll also talk about the potentially undervalued ones and the ones poised for strong growth in the future. Hope you enjoy!

Are you a dividend investor? Is one of your goals to replace your income with dividends in the future so that you can retire early or reach financial independence. I think most dividend investors aim for some version of this goal and it can be quite challenging trying to figure out the best or fastest way to get there. I was recently thinking about my dividend investing journey and how long it will take me to replace my income with dividends. So I created a spreadsheet to help me analyze how changing different factors in my investing strategy effects my long term goals. I think you'll be surprised to see the most important factor I found and perhaps my example can help you figure out the timeline for your journey as well!

I too have bought many stocks early this year, at least now it appears that my purchases were made early.

I'll also show some real life examples of the implications of buying early and the rewards of being patient.

The stock market keeps on falling this year and I know many investors are becoming discouraged and starting to worry about the future. During turbulent market times like we are experiencing today I like to find solace in historical data. History tells us that bear markets occur every 56 months or just a little longer than every 4.5 years. The most recent bear market started on June 13th for the S&P while the Nasdaq entered its current bear market on March 7th. The average bear market lasts for 9.6 months so based on historical measures we are in the early stages of the current bear market. The key is to position yourself properly so that you can benefit from the inevitable bull market that is going to follow. Now the most popular and the safest investing strategy is using a combination of index funds to maximize your risk tolerance between equities and fixed income. However if you prefer to invest in individual dividend growth stocks here are 8 great companies that I believe are attractively valued today and should perform better than average in the future.

Do you use Free Cash Flow in your investing process? Maybe you should, today I want to show you the power of free cash flow when applied to stock selection. More specifically I'll be talking about the price to free cash flow ratio that measures the multiple you pay when purchasing a stock in relation to how much free cash flow the underlying business produces. We'll be looking at a long term study that proved this metric can lead to extraordinary results and I'll also break down why the price to free cash flow multiple makes sense as a valuation technique.

Valuing a business based on cash flow makes the most sense and this is how the vast majority of the best investors value their investments.

Dividend aristocrats are fairing better than the broad market this year and I believe they are some of the best dividend stocks to invest in for the long term. Dividend aristocrats are some of the safest and most reliable dividend stocks on the market. To become an aristocrat a company must have a streak of growing dividend income for at least 25 consecutive years. Anyone looking to start a dividend portfolio should be familiar with the dividend aristocrats and the benefits they can offer. I came up with 3 unique simple strategies to select the best dividend aristocrats each month. I believe that over a longer period of time each of these simple methods can deliver alpha over NOBL the dividend aristocrat ETF. Investing in individual stocks can carry more risk than investing in a broad index and you need to determine the best course of action for you. Join me to find out how my simple strategies work and which dividend aristocrats are the best in June 2022!

Today I want to take a closer look at 3 undervalued dividend growth stocks from a cash flow perspective. Valuing a business based on cash flow makes the most sense and this is how the vast majority of the best investors value their investments. Many dividend growth investors like to focus on the dividend yield or dividend growth of a stock. But I believe cash flow is one of the most important metrics long term dividend investors should use. So join me to find out which 3 undervalued dividend growth stocks I like today and how they are valued based on cash flow multiples.

Are you looking for the best dividend growth stock to consider adding to your portfolio right now. The dividend stock I will present today offers a historically high dividend yield right now. It has a very long and strong history of dividend growth and total return. 2022 has not been a good year thus far and this stock is down 30% to start the year. But does this price drop and an attractive dividend yield warrant an investment? Not necessarily. A stock must meet two conditions for me to buy it, it must be a great business and the valuation must make sense. Join me to find out which stock I am talking about and whether I believe it is a good investment right now.

Finding great dividend stocks to invest in can be very challenging. First you have to find a great business and then you need to figure out whether the current price is attractive. Stock valuation is more art than science but thankfully there are models that can help us out here. My favorite valuation technique for dividend stocks is dividend yield theory, my second favorite valuation technique is the 2 stage dividend discount model. I want to show you how the 2 stage dividend discount model works using a real example and then I'll talk about some limitations of the model. I'll also show you a very similar model called the H model for valuing dividend stocks that you may like better. Enjoy! #dividendstocks #dividenddiscountmodel #dividendgrowthinvesting

I typically talk about dividend stocks and dividend investing but today I want to talk about a simpler investing approach. I call it the 3 fund portfolio that is perfect for the average investor. Most investors underperform the market by being active investors, this is why the average investor should probably stick to a simple index fund portfolio. I want to show you a very simple and easy to understand investing strategy using 3 funds to create a portfolio that will give you average market returns. This simple strategy structures your asset allocation based on your age to maximize returns while minimizing your risk exposure. The 3 funds are all low cost vanguard mutual funds that are also available as ETFs. I hope you enjoy the content!

Replacing your active income with passive income with dividends sounds very appealing. So normally you would want to figure out the fastest way to live off dividends without taking on more risk than you feel comfortable with. The natural direction dividend investors lean towards is high yield dividend stocks and funds. But I have an alternative option that could lead to retiring and living off dividends even faster. If you would like to know my strategy for the fastest way to live off dividends check out the video. I'm not recommending this strategy for anyone, but I think it's a good idea to review different options. Maybe this strategy will fit your goals better than the typical high yield approach. Ultimately you need to be comfortable with the investing strategy you select because you'll have to endure market turbulence and live with the final product. So choose the fastest way to live off dividends that suits you best!

In February two companies were added to this elite list of dividend paying stocks, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie. Both are excellent dividend stocks and will fit very well on this premium dividend stock list. Join me to take a closer look at these companies as well as the rest of the dividend kings.

2022 is off to a rocky start as the market is experiencing a lot of volatility and a lot of red days. Dividend aristocrats are fairing better and I believe they are some of the best dividend stocks to invest in for the long term. Dividend aristocrats are some of the safest and most reliable dividend stocks on the market. To become an aristocrat a company must have a streak of growing dividend income for at least 25 consecutive years. Anyone looking to start a dividend portfolio should be familiar with the dividend aristocrats and the benefits they can offer. I came up with 3 unique simple strategies to select the best dividend aristocrats each month. I believe that over a longer period of time each of these simple methods can deliver alpha over NOBL the dividend aristocrat ETF. Investing in individual stocks can carry more risk than investing in a broad index and you need to determine the best course of action for you. Join me to find out how my simple strategies work and which dividend aristocrats are the best in February 2022!

Warren Buffett has laid out a simple retirement strategy for the trustee of his wife's estate. The strategy is very simple and involves the use of only two investment vehicles. Mr. Buffett has instructed the assets to be allocated 90% to a low cost S&P 500 index fund and 10% to a short term government bond fund. If Warren Buffett thinks this strategy is suitable for his wife after he is gone then perhaps it can be suitable for the average investor as well. Let's find out what Warren Buffett's retirement strategy is, I'll share my thoughts and then we can put it to a test to see how it stacked up against the market starting at the absolute worst possible time.

Any seasoned dividend investor will be familiar with dividend reinvestment plans or DRIPs as they are abbreviated. Today with fractional shares and zero commissions dividend reinvestment plans have lost some of their appeal, or have they? I was thinking about this a few days ago and decided that I would share my thoughts on the matter. I used to be a huge fan of dividend reinvestment plans, they served a very useful purpose a few years ago when the majority of market trades cost money. Dripping was the easiest, fastest and cheapest way to invest your dividend income back into the market. Today you can invest as little as a dollar into almost any stock you like so the benefit dividend reinvestment plans once offered has definitely shrunk, at least from my perspective. I do not use any dividend reinvestment plans today because I think for me personally it is better to self direct where my dividend income should be invested. Whether this works out in my favor in the long run time will only tell. I hope you enjoy!

One of the best things about long term dividend investing is the dividend snowball. And what better way to snowball dividends than with a monthly paying dividend stock. One of the best monthly dividend stocks on the market is Realty Income that also happens to be a dividend aristocrat. That means this monthly dividend stock has a streak of at least 25 years of dividend growth under its belt. The dividend snowball is a great way to build wealth from small sums of money and to build a passive dividend income that can one day fund your retirement. It takes a long time to see the true impact of compounding with the dividend snowball. But if you have the time, patience and discipline you can turn small sums of money into great wealth. Best of all you can do this passively and without overly worrying about what the stock market is doing on a daily basis. This is the beauty and appeal of long term dividend investing and it all starts with selecting the right dividend stock to invest in. I personally am a big fan of Realty Income and it is one of my favorite monthly dividend stocks in my portfolio.

In today's episode I present my top 15 high growth dividend stocks to consider during the month of December. This approach focuses on total return with a little dividend action on the side. It's a rather unconventional approach to dividend investing. Most dividend investors focus on dividend yields but that is not the only route. I think that younger investors and those with a longer time horizon should incorporate more high growth dividend stocks into their portfolios to amp up total returns. Having a strong dividend yield is nice but if you have 10 or 20 or even 30 years before retirement you can benefit exponentially from more total return. And to put it simply high growth dividend stocks typically outpace high yield dividend stocks when it comes to total returns. I hope you enjoy hearing about my process for dividend investing!

Today I will share with you my top 10 best high yield dividend stocks for the month of December. I use a rule based approach to find the best high yield dividend stock opportunities to invest in each month. These are all high quality dividend paying companies that are also poised to potentially offer strong total returns in the near future. I use this method to make my own investing decisions in my dividend portfolios. The top 10 best high yield dividend stocks for December offer an average dividend yield of 3.49% and have a 5 year return forecast over 20%. My personal target return is 12% per year, so if I aim a little higher it creates a margin of safety that I will meet my goal. I hope you enjoy the content!

Today I want to take a closer look at Broadcom (AVGO) a fast growing dividend stock that has one of the best dividend growth histories. The stock has also rewarded shareholders with market beating returns during the last decade. Investing in growing dividend stocks is my main objective but I'd also like to invest at the right time, meaning that the valuation and future expected return has to make sense. I think Broadcom is a great business but it trades for a slight premium today. Nevertheless the stock still makes sense for my future return assumptions, check out the episode to see why.

In this episode I will be comparing SCHD vs. QYLD. I know that these two dividend ETFs are very different when it comes to dividend investing. So why compare them? I think there is value in seeing how an income approach (QYLD) compares to a growth approach (SCHD) both in the short term and in the long term. QYLD is one of the highest paying monthly dividend ETFs on the market now but while it sports a super high dividend yield it doesn't offer much in terms of capital appreciation. SCHD on the other hand has a more modest dividend yield but exceptional growth prospects. I was quite surprised how this comparison shook out under my normalized assumptions. Which fund do you think will be better SCHD vs. QYLD?

Today I want to share with you the dividend snowball story for a great dividend aristocrat stock, TROW! TROW has a 35 year dividend growth history all the while offering very strong returns for long term shareholders. A dividend snowball leverages dividend reinvestment to jump start the power of compounding and grow small sums of money into great wealth. And dividend aristocrat stocks are some of the best dividend growers out there. Dividend investing is generally a boring and slow process for building wealth and one of the most passive forms of cash flow. It requires very little effort on your part, all you need to do is pick the right dividend stock and consistently invest money in that company for a very long period of time. The growth potential of the dividend snowball is exponential and can let anyone build great wealth no matter how little money you have. I hope you enjoy the dividend snowball story about this amazing dividend aristocrat!

This company is one of my favorite dividend growth stocks and I have personally purchased more shares of the stock. The company has a history of fast top line and bottom line growth with very high dividend growth rates. They are also set to announce their next dividend increase in the coming weeks. I think the recent slump for the stock presents a good opportunity to pick up more shares because the stock has been crushing the S&P since it went public in 2006. I hope you enjoy the content!

By best dividend aristocrat I am talking about the one with the highest total or annualized return. I can tell you that during the last 10 years 20 dividend aristocrats outpaced the S&P 500, and some by a pretty wide margin. Of course no all aristocrats had a good return, in fact there were a few pretty bad losers. Join me to find out which dividend aristocrat was the best.

To the see the true power of dividends we have to step back and visualize the real impact they play over the course of time. Investing in the stock market can be very rewarding but to exponentially increase the growth of your money you need to take full advantage of the power of compounding dividends. I want to show you the power of dividends and the impact of compounding long term shareholders of Lowe's benefited from. Money makes money but allowing the money that your money makes to make you more money builds great wealth. Enjoy!

With October almost over it's time to take a look at the 10 best dividend aristocrats for the month of November 2021! I use two theories to select the best dividend aristocrats. They are potential undervaluation and the highest expected future return. I take these two theories and leverage the results to formulate three unique strategies. The first is to target the most undervalued dividend aristocrats. The second strategy targets the 10 best dividend aristocrats with the highest expected growth forecast. And the third strategy is a blend of the first two, I target the 10 dividend aristocrats with the highest expected growth forecast that are also undervalued. In this episode I will show you the 10 dividend aristocrats that made the cut for each strategy for the month of November 2021. I will also give you a sneak peak at how each strategy is doing in October thus far. Enjoy!

I'd like to share my vision for building a dividend portfolio from scratch. You never know when the time will come where you will be faced with the burden or opportunity to build a portfolio from scratch. Maybe you're looking to start a new portfolio or you're forced to move your 401k to an IRA. Whatever the reason for building a new portfolio it's good to have a plan ready. And if you decide that you want to build a dividend stock portfolio, I'd like to share my thoughts on the matter. Feel free to borrow what you'd like from my plan for a brand new dividend portfolio to include in your plan. Keep in mind this plan is based on my personal opinion and it is not investment advice. Enjoy!

Most dividend investors know the dividend yield of their investments quite well. But far too many don't bother to consider the yield on cost of their investment. What is the yield on cost anyway? And why should you care about it? The yield on cost is the yield you are receiving on the cost of your original investment. It matters because certain high growth dividend stocks can give you a better yield on cost than high yield stocks over a longer period of time. If you have a long investing horizon then you need to understand the yield on cost and incorporate it into your decision process.

I ran my screener for the month and found 30 high yield dividend stocks that passed all the minimum requirements. The high yield dividend stocks were further ranked based on their metrics and will be presented in the ranking order. The average dividend yield of the September watchlist is 3.30%. 24 of these high yield dividend stocks are undervalued or fairly valued right now based on dividend yield theory. The watchlist from September returned -2.76% last month and finished slightly ahead of VYM and SPY. I hope you enjoy the episode.

I want to show you how to build a high yield dividend aristocrat portfolio that will pay a dividend every week of the year! Focusing only on dividend aristocrats I can ensure this portfolio is made up of some of the safest dividend stocks on the planet. Also by focusing on dividend aristocrats that pay a high yield I can ensure this portfolio will pay the highest yield possible. It will take either 11 or 13 dividend aristocrats to build this portfolio. Since most dividend aristocrats pay dividends on the same day each quarter it is pretty simple to build a weekly dividend income stream. Sometimes the dividend payment dates will vary due to holidays or weekends so the actual portfolio may not pay a dividend every week. But this will be the closest thing to a weekly high yield dividend aristocrat portfolio.

Do you invest in the dividend aristocrats? Have you achieved a 12.5% return during the last decade? If not then you need to find out which 5 dividend aristocrats have had the best total return during the last 10 years. Maybe these 5 dividend aristocrats that have grown the fastest should be a part of your portfolio. In addition to looking at how quickly each of these aristocrats has grown I take a look at additional metrics for each company and at the end make a few assumptions to forecast the expected growth rate for the next decade.

I would like to share with you the next 3 best dividend growth stocks that I think are poised for the best total returns over the next 5 year. These 3 dividend growth stocks have some of the highest expected growth rates from all 30 dividend growth stocks on my monthly high growth dividend watchlist. There is a long term correlation between earnings growth and total returns, stocks that have grown their earnings quicker have typically also seen better total returns. I think using forecasted eps growth rates combined with current valuation and dividend yield can help investors identify which stocks are poised for higher growth in the future. Enjoy!

In this episode I want to take a look at 7 dividend ETFs that all pay a dividend yield above 3% and determine which one might be the best ETF for you! I started with a list of over 200 ETFs that all pay a dividend. I narrowed this list down by dividend yield, threw out the ETFs that had large expense ratios and all the alternative and complex strategies. I was left with 12 of the best dividend ETFs of which 5 had a global or intarnational focus. I decided to narrow in on the 7 dividend ETFs with a focus on US companies. Lets go over each of these ETFs together, find out how they work, review their dividend yields, expense ratios and recent performance to see if we can pick out the best one.

The 7 best dividend ETFs reviewed are: DVY HDV SPYD SPHD PEY DHS RDIV

I decided to see how the top 10 most undervalued dividend aristocrats and the top 10 dividend aristocrats based on expected growth are doing in August thus far. I originally posted these two strategies in the June undervalued dividend aristocrat update. As we are almost through August and its almost time to start looking at the best dividend aristocrats for September, here is a glimpse of how both strategies and NOBL are doing. I believe both strategies can outperform NOBL in the long term, however any self selection of stocks is always a riskier gamble vs. investing in an index. Therefore I am not recommending either of these strategies to anyone, this analysis is purely for illustrative purposes. Enjoy!

How to retire with dividend income? It can be quite easy or difficult and this all depends on how fast you'd like to get there. The most important factor to the equation is your savings rate. Of course what you invest your money into and the stock market play a role but the one factor you have the most control over is your savings rate. Essentially the higher your savings rate the quicker you will be able to retire. It can take a long time to retire off dividend income if you are only saving 5-10% of your income. Mainly because these savings need to grow to a sum large enough to replace the 90-95% of your income that is used to fund your current lifestyle. I present a few examples in this episode of the savings rate you need to retire in X number of years. I also talk about my personal take on retiring with dividends and why I'm not in a hurry to get there. I hope you enjoy!

What are the best dividend ETFs to buy in 2021? In this episode I share two of my favorite picks. We take a look at SCHD and DGRO, I believe they are two of the best dividend ETFs available to investors. They have a long track record of strong dividend growth, they target quality companies and offer a safe and sustainable dividend income. And best of all both these ETFs are dirt cheap, they have some of the lowest expense ratios of all dividend ETFs. SCHD is up over 50% during the past year, DGRO is up over 37% for the same period. On a long term basis both ETFs are offering annualized returns of 15% or more during the past 5 years. I hope you enjoy the episode and perhaps gain some new knowledge.
