Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 2/11/13 to 2/15/13

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 hope everyone had a great week!

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 14 for 20 week. 70% of my picks increased in value. It was a pretty nice week to invest in dividend paying stocks for both the NYSE and NASDAQ. Some of my picks flew sky high! The market was very kind to those who invested wisely this week. Continue to pick up dividend aristocrats on any pull backs and hold for long haul. I am a long term bull!

See below for more details... as well as some great videos pertaining to Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (ADR)(NYSE:BUD), which rose $6.99 per share this past week! Also, check out the books below. Very interesting reads!

DSIFTCM is NOT affiliated with any of these companies. I am not a professional stock picker and am only providing my personal opinions of some of the greatest dividend paying companies!

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. 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!

Keep investing as much as you can on a daily or 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.

Always remember, YOU are in charge of your financial life. Do not let anyone tell you how to spend your money. We all have the knowledge and smarts inside of us. Make smart investments!

Update: Stock Picks for the week of 3/8/12 to 3/15/12

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.

As you can see below, it was a MONSTER eight days of gains in every sector. It was a 17 for 20 week. Three selections decreased in value while others had a pretty nice percentage gain for the week. SMG was the clear winner with a $6.20 gain. "Woo woo woo, you know it!"

PLD, KO, JCI, EBIX, PCL, and VWO all have more than a $1.00 gain this past week. The over all net gain for the week of 3/8/12 to 3/15/12 was $8.70. 

As a rule of thumb, always invest in high yielding dividend paying stocks for your retirement years. 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 The Coca-Cola Company, Johnson Controls, Inc., and Plum Creek Timber Co. Inc. All three companies will inject your Roth IRA stock portfolio with stability and profits via quarterly dividends

Until next time, happy investing, reinvest those dividends and let your smart investment decisions work for you!
