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!

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

Listed below are my newest dividend paying stock picks for the Common Man's portfolio. These are my picks for the week of November 5th, 2011 to November 12th, 2011. Any one of these stocks will always inject your Roth IRA stock portfolio with solid dividends and free cash! I am bullish long term for each of these companies and like their financials.

It is fairly simple to invest your dollars into any one or all of these stocks. I will check back in next Saturday to determine how well or poor my picks performed. Have a great week! Continue to invest as much as you can each week to ensure that you have a solid dividend income stream of wealth!

Do your due diligence! Once again, I am only a fan of these stocks and am not pumping them for my own personal gain. I just enjoy sharing which stocks I believe are dividend aristocrats and should be seriously considered when investing your hard earned dollars.

PPG Industries, Inc. - PPG

PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) rose $2.10 today, that's 2.48% in one day alone. They pay a quarterly dividend of $0.57 per share, which is currently 2.63%. PPG has increased their dividend year after year since August 4th, 1987. Their market cap is 13.3 billion dollars and they are on the prowl for acquisitions. Their board of directors just authorized the repurchase of 10 million shares. 10 million shares! It is obvious that the board and management think they are on the right path and/or their stock is about to pop or increase over the course of the next few quarters.

In a nutshell, PPG produces and supplies protective and decorative coatings, optical and speciality materials, commodity chemicals, and glass. Coatings will be needed as the world looks to expand and rebuild itself especially in regards to Japan. Also, in the ever expanding countries, China, India, Australia to name a few.

PPG has a low PE with a great dividend yield and brands. Even if this stock moves lower the dividend yield will keep your money safe. Click here to learn about PPG's company history. Also, their Investor Relations site, here. PPG is one of my favorite dividend aristocrats because of their diversified products and historical dividend increases. Pick up some shares and hold for life! Reinvest those dividends and watch your PPG holdings grow.
