Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 11/5/12 to 11/9/12

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 an 4 for 20 week. 20% of my picks increased in value. It was a very rough week for both the NYSE and NASDAQ. We made some profits from FDO, SBUX, TM and HSY. Check out the video below to learn more about one of my favorite dividend paying companies, The Hershey Company (NYSE:HSY)! 

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 4/11/12 to 4/20/12

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.

As you can see below, it was a healthy 10 days of gains in every sector. It was a 24 for 25 week. It is somewhat comical that the only stock pick which decreased in value was Johnson & Johnson, stock ticker JNJ. JNJ has the most reliable dividend out of the bunch, so don't worry if you lost some cash on this one. The dividend will help you recoup any loses.

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 Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., Tiffany & Co., and Automatic Data Processing. 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!
