Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 12/31/12 to 1/4/13

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 20 for 20 week. 100% of my picks increased in value. It was a fantastic week to invest in dividend paying stocks for both the NYSE and NASDAQ. Last week I was 0 for 20 and what a difference a week makes. If you expected stock prices to rise during due to the Fiscal Cliff deal, well it appears so. The market was very kind to those who invested earlier in the week. The only negative to take from this week's dividend stock selections is that each company's dividend yield decreased. Continue to pick up dividend aristocrats on a pull back after this week and hold for long haul. I am a long term bull. See below for more details... as well as some great videos pertaining to Visa, stock ticker V, which rose $8.12 per share this past week. :) Also, check out the 4 books shown throughout this post. Very interesting and educational 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: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 7/16/12 to 7/20/12

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 13 for 20 week. 65% of my picks increased in value. Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) and Tiffany & Co.

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.

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.

Alcoa - AA

Aluminum rules! Click here to learn all about the best symbol on the periodic table, AL. Although aluminum's atomic number is that wicked number 13, I must assure you that there is nothing risky or shady about aluminum. My favorite metal company on the planet is Alcoa, Inc., stock ticker AA. Alcoa is a producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina, and is active in all major aspects of the industry, for example, technology, mining, refining, smelting, fabricating, and recycling. During the year ended December 31, 2010, aluminum and alumina represented more than 80% of Alcoa’s revenues. Non aluminum products include precision castings and aerospace and industrial fasteners. Alcoa’s products are used globally in aircraft, automobiles, commercial transportation, packaging, building and construction, oil and gas, defense, and industrial applications. AA is a global company that operates in 31 countries. AA has investments and operating activities in Australia, Brazil, the People’s Republic of China, Guinea, Iceland, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.

In addition to inventing the modern-day aluminum industry, Alcoa innovation has been behind all major milestones in the aerospace, packaging, automotive, building and construction, commercial transportation, consumer electronics and industrial markets for more than 120 years.

My take? Alcoa is going to run to the mid 20s within the next year and increase their dividend many times over the next few decades. Alcoa is rebuilding and expanding in developing nations. They continue to move up and on ward. As the economy recovers, Alcoa will be well positioned. Currently, 64% of shares are held by institutions. Like other metal stocks, AA tends to be volatile. This is an ignored company; highly valuable and ready for turnaround! If your looking for income then there is no better place to invest than in aluminum! AA is currently paying only $0.03 per share, it is a solid, reliable dividend. With increased sales of light weight hybrid vehicles, their Chinese expansion and the United States addiction to aluminum I must advise you to invest as much dinero as you can on Monday. Hold this cash cow for life! Alcoa has been around for decades and your Roth IRA portfolio will thank me later.
