Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 7/30/12 to 8/3/12

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 11 for 20 week. 55% of my picks increased in value. Although we made some serious cash this week from Cummins Inc.(NYSE:CMI) and Phillips 66(NYSE:PSX) 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.


Feel free to watch the great videos below, featuring some of this week's winners!

Update: Stock Picks for the week of 11/5/11 to 11/12/11

It was a profitable week for 9 of my 14 stock selections for the week of 11/5/11 to 11/12/11! 9 selected stocks respectably increased in value, which would have made your Roth IRA look very healthy during this past week. The net total for my selections was -$0.50. Although 5 of my selections went down in stock value it is important to note that all pay a dividend which will cover losses. On the bright side their dividend yields increased.

Always, always, always invest in high yielding dividend paying stocks. Hold on to your stocks for the long term. Feel free to watch the videos below about ConocoPhillips and Dupont. COP and DD will provide stability into your Roth IRA. Until next time, have a great weekend!
