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 11 for 20 week. 55% of my picks increased in value. BlackRock, Inc.(NYSE:BLK), Realty Income Corp(NYSE:O) $41.77 $42.10, Tiffany & Co.(NYSE:TIF) and Williams-Sonoma, Inc.(NYSE:WSM) $34.97 $35.85 were the big winners. Although we made some serious cash this week it is not how many times you win short term, but rather which investments can provide you with a steady income stream over the long term. When investing in dividend paying stocks you are protecting yourself from stock market volatility. If the market goes down one quarter, the dividend payment will help recoup the losses.
I like companies such as Tiffany & Co.(NYSE:TIF) and Williams-Sonoma, Inc.(NYSE:WSM) because they offer top of the line products and their customers are willing to purchase items at a premium, just to say, "Oh, I bought it at Tiffany's".
Let these companies work hard so they can maintain their dividend and increase it year over year. As a shareholder, it is like receiving a raise each year. Reinvest your dividends to maximize your profits!
Until next time friends, keep investing as much as you can on a weekly basis. Perform your due diligence and invest in companies that you feel comfortable with. Do not risk your hard earned dollars by investing in unknown, unreliable companies.
