Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 8/20/12 to 8/24/12

I would like to thank you for revisiting DSIFTCM! I hope you had a profitable last week and an enjoyable weekend. Listed below are my dividend stock investment selections for the Common Man's stock portfolio for the upcoming week of 8/20/12 to 8/24/12. Any one of these companies will infuse a powerful wealth stream of cash into your Roth or Traditional IRA stock portfolio. It is fairly simple to invest your dollars into any one or all of these stocks by yourself, without the help of a Stock Broker, Financial Analyst or money hungry, high commission Wealth planners. I will check back on 8/25/12 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 to pay for your utilities, living expenses, etc. during your retirement years!
