Enough Is Enough: You Can Always Make More Money, But You Cannot Make More Time

May 30, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 104 Comments

The sands of time. Unfortunately, time is not on our side. Once you’re born, the clock is ticking away and life is slowly coming to a close. That realization isn’t meant to depress you. Rather, I write it to empower you. My Background I’ve attained phenomenal success over the last four years, and I couldn’t […]

Two Stocks On My Watch List For June 2014

May 29, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 76 Comments

The elusive broader stock market pullback. It’s coming any day now, right? Well, I’ve been hearing such a forecast for more than a year now. Now, I can’t predict the future. As such, I don’t know if the stock market is going to come crashing down tomorrow, the next day, or ever. However, it doesn’t […]

The Cost To Move Across The Country: $131.89

May 27, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 87 Comments

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend, and, of course, I thank all of those who serve in the military. I’m writing this from the great state of Michigan after a 19-hour trek from Florida. Ever since I got here I’ve been busy integrating myself into a new lifestyle, and I’ve been […]

1,282 Miles

May 22, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 106 Comments

This coming Monday is Memorial Day. And I have fond memories of spending this holiday weekend back in Michigan enjoying (finally) warming weather and backyard barbecues. Char-grilled hot dogs, hand-pressed hamburgers, and potato salad. What could be better, right? Well, I’ll get to relive those memories. I’ll be making the trip back to Michigan a bit earlier […]

If I Were Starting All Over Again

May 20, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 122 Comments

I’ll admit I kind of lucked into my situation. I started investing in stocks in early 2010 just as the financial crisis was ending and the broader economy started to roar back. The worst appeared to be behind us and gray skies were clearing. Obviously, in hindsight I didn’t know the stock market was about […]

Dividend Growth Investors Are Winning!

May 18, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 63 Comments

Charlie Sheen is famous for saying “Winning!”, but I wonder if he wasn’t referring to being a dividend growth investor. You see, no matter what mood Mr. Market is in, and no matter what he throws at me, I’m technically winning. If the market’s mood sours and stocks tank, then the stocks I’m purchasing with […]

Weekend Reading – May 16, 2014

May 16, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 62 Comments

Well, I’m so far just a few days into my newfound freedom as I’ve set my ship for new waters. And it’s wonderful! I really couldn’t be happier right now. I’m no longer a service advisor at a luxury car dealership working more than 50 hours per week, and I’m now instead writing and investing full-time (for […]

Recent Dividend Increases

May 15, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 29 Comments

As a dividend growth investor, one of the primary objectives I seek is passive dividend income from my investments that increases over the rate of inflation, annually. It’s always wonderful news when companies decide to reward loyal, long-term shareholders with a dividend raise. A dividend raise typically means operations are doing well, and management is […]

Recent Buy

May 14, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 65 Comments

I won’t lie to you guys. It’s tough for me to find real strong values in the market right now, and I’m having to look far and wide for stocks that I feel are even fairly valued. The Shiller P/E ratio currently stands at 25.57, which is significantly above the long-term median value of 15.91. After my recent […]

Recent Sale

May 13, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 58 Comments

I don’t sell stocks often, so it’s always a bit tough for me to write these articles. I look at each position in my portfolio as essential branches to my dividend tree, where every branch produces fruitful dividends which will eventually provide the income I need to pay my bills. And I eventually want at […]
