Update: Dividend Stock Picks for the Week of 11/26/12 to 11/30/12

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 hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving in the United States. 

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 16 for 20 week. 80% of my picks increased in value. It was a GREAT week to invest in dividend paying stocks for both the NYSE and NASDAQ.  The market was very kind to those who invested earlier in the week. We made some solid profits from CIM, CL, CLX, GIS, HNZ, JNK, JPM, LTC, MAT, MCD, R, SAN, SPG, UL, VZ, and WY. Check out the videos below to learn more about one of my favorite dividend paying companies, Mattel, Inc.(NASDAQ:MAT)!

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! Until next time friends, Like Us on Facebook, Follow Us on Twitter and feel free to comment below. What are some of your favorite dividend paying stocks?

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. (NYSE:TIF) really popped with excellent weekly gains.  E I Du Pont De Nemours And Co (NYSE:DD),  Macy's, Inc. (NYSE:M) and Huntsman Corporation (NYSE:HUN) were also the big winners of the week. 


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. 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!


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.


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

Mattel, Inc. - MAT

Mattel, Inc. (Mattel), stock ticker MAT, designs, manufactures, and markets a broad and endless variety of toy products worldwide. Mattel sells Barbie fashion dolls, Polly Pocket, Little Mommy, Disney Classics, Monster High. Also, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Tyco R/C vehicles, CARS, Radica, Max Steel, WWE Wrestling products, Batman products. Additional brands include Fisher Price, View-Master, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go!, Thomas and Friends, See ‘N Say, Power Wheels, the American Girl Brand, which includes My American Girl and Bitty Baby.

It is obvious to me that Mattel is a toy conglomerate which is clearly diversified in the toy space. Mattel has a lot of good toy brands that aren't going away any time soon. Kids are more brand-oriented than adults. Toys move even during hard times. I feel MAT has solid growth opportunities and is a very household name among children's toys. Even if you've never heard of them, you've heard of their toys! Currently trading near their 52 week high, I recommend waiting for the right time to purchase, after a drop.

MAT has a low PE rating and an excellent, stable 23 cent per share dividend, which is currently a 3.29% dividend yield. In short, Mattel toys keeps all children happy and provides them a lifetime of memories. Investing in MAT will keep your Roth IRA stock portfolio happy, as well as provide you with a lifetime of gains and solid dividend payments every three months. Reinvest those dividends to maximize your retirement wealth! Click here to visit Mattel's homepage, as well as here to visit their Investor Relations website. Also, feel free to watch the videos below to learn more about this steady growth, value stock. Pick up some MAT tomorrow and be confident with your decision.
