Two Reasonably Valued Blue Chips

August 25, 2013 by Dividend Mantra Team 35 Comments

When I talk about “blue chip” stocks, I’m typically referring to shares in very high quality companies that have excellent, long-standing reputations for profitability during all economic cycles. A more narrow definition could be described as stocks that are tracked by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The two companies I’m going to profile below […]

My Watch List For August

July 29, 2013 by Dividend Mantra Team 66 Comments

As I’ve discussed recently, it’s tough to find value in the market currently and I remain cautious with deploying new capital in the face of ever higher prices for high quality assets. While I’m always more than willing to pay a fair price for shares in a high quality business, I’m not quite as keen […]

My Watch List For July

June 27, 2013 by Dividend Mantra Team 70 Comments

As I’ve talked about many times before, I believe in the power of persistence. And one way I try to exemplify that is by purchasing shares in high quality businesses month in and month out, year after year. I’ve been doing this since early 2010, and the strategy is going three years strong now. I […]

Three High Quality Dividend Growth Stocks On My Radar

June 14, 2013 by Dividend Mantra Team 49 Comments

“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” – Quote by Warren Buffett. Words have never rang truer. Warren Buffett is one of my personal heroes, and I can think of few quotes that more embody his thesis on investing than the one I’ve included above. I’m including that quote because it’s easy […]

Two Reasonably Appealing Stock Ideas

May 20, 2013 by Dividend Mantra Team 48 Comments

  I recently wrote about the difficulties that us value/dividend investors face in allocating capital to equities right now. The S&P 500 is up 17% YTD and we’re only a little more than five months into the year. Are many companies worth 17% more now than they were five months ago? Were many stocks 17% […]

What Are You Buying?

March 26, 2013 by Dividend Mantra Team 53 Comments

I haven’t done one of these posts in a while, but with the Dow Jones Industrial Average breaking new all-time highs seemingly daily and the S&P 500 approaching all-time highs I figured now would be a good time to see what stocks you readers are interested in. I’ve gotta be honest. I don’t see a […]

Three Canadian Stocks On My Watchlist

February 25, 2013 by Dividend Mantra Team 48 Comments

I’m always looking for ways to improve and grow my Freedom Fund through international diversification when possible. Most of my portfolio is currently invested in major U.S. blue chip companies like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and PepsiCo, Inc (PEP). The great thing about these companies, however, is that they are multinational companies that operate on […]

What Are You Buying?

November 30, 2012 by Dividend Mantra Team 47 Comments

As we end the month of November, and move into the full swing of the holiday season, I thought now would be a great time to ask you readers what equities are on your shopping list. I look forward to receiving a healthy chunk of fresh capital from my day job early next month. I […]

What Are You Buying?

October 24, 2012 by Dividend Mantra Team 32 Comments

Boom! Just like that, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down almost 450 points over the last week. It’s times like these that I really smile. As a long-term dividend growth investor I stay focused on value. I want to buy as many shares as I possibly can with my dollar, and the cheaper the […]

What Are You Buying?

August 30, 2012 by Dividend Mantra Team 54 Comments

The market appears a bit frothy right now. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently north of 13,000 points, while the S&P 500 treads just above 1,400 points. But, as I’ve stated many times before I believe in purchasing high quality equities at attractive long-term prices on a regular basis. I believe that there are […]
