Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 6/10/13 to 6/14/13

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 6 for 20 week. 30% of my picks increased in value. It was a decent week to invest in dividend paying stocks for both the NYSE and NASDAQ. A lesser percentage of my stock picks increased in value, however now would be a good time to pick up these Dividend Aristocrats at a discount. Continue to pick up multiple shares these proven winners on any pull backs and hold for long haul. I am a long term bull!

See below for more details... as well as some wonderful YouTube videos pertaining to WellPoint, Inc.(NYSE:WLP) +$0.77! 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!

Listed below are my Dividend Stock investment selections for the Common Man's stock portfolio for the upcoming week of 6/10/13 to 6/14/13.

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!

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)!
