Stock Picks for the week of 4/25/12 to 5/2/12

Listed below are my top dividend stock investments for the Common Man for the week of April 25th, 2012 to May 2nd, 2012. Any one of these stocks always make an excellent addition to your Roth IRA stock portfolio. They are reliable dividend payers and I remain a huge fan of each company. It is fairly simple to invest your dollars into any one or all of these stocks. I will check back on May 3rd, 2012 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 of wealth!
