Update: Stock Picks for the week of 5/28/12 to 6/1/12

Welcome back to Dividend Stock Investing for the Common Man! Thank you stopping by and supporting the idea of investing in dividend paying stocks for the long term. I wanted to recap last week's picks for you since it is important to review all investments on a weekly, if not daily, basis.

It was a horrible week for the market as a whole. See below, this chart explains it all! The Dow Jones Industrial, S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite index dropped significantly after Memorial Day, May 28th, 2012.

Although it was a rough week for the market, I remain confident in the stock market and now is the time to get in at reduced stock valuations. Grab some dividend aristocrats while they are at bargain prices. WM, MCD, UHT and DRI are valued at a discount this week.

As you can see below, it was a weak five days in every sector. Overall, 2 for 25 week. Always invest in high yielding dividend paying stocks for your retirement years. Much like the stocks listed below, you will be covered with quarterly dividends if the stocks just so happen to drop in value. Continue to hold on to your stocks for the long term so the dividends have plenty of time to compound.

Feel free to watch the videos below featuring Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG, Unilever plc and Molson Coors Brewing Company. All four companies will inject your Roth IRA stock portfolio with stability and profits via quarterly dividends, even when their share price take a hit due to market lag.

Until next time.. I wish you nothing but the best during your investing years. Perform your due diligence for each of these quality dividend payers below. Happy investing, reinvest those dividends and let your smart investment decisions work for you!
