What Are You Buying?

October 10, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 22 Comments

I’ve always been pretty open with my investment moves, for better or worse. I always let you know what I’ve recently purchased, usually within just a few days of buying.

September 29, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 12 Comments

This article originally appeared on The Div-Net September 22, 2011 The 10-year Treasury is yielding 1.85% as of this writing. I currently have no exposure to bonds in my portfolio. This anemic yield is one of those reasons. Why would I want to lock in my capital for such a low yield, especially for a period […]

5 Stocks On Sale

August 18, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 14 Comments

This article originally appeared on The Div-Net July 11, 2011. With the drop in the market being the talk of the town, it’s not terribly difficult to find value. I could probably put a list of 30 or more stocks that I find particular value in, but I think ultimately you want to stick to […]

Opportunity?

August 3, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 24 Comments

Today, the market was in a free fall, with the DJIA down over 265 points by the time the day ended. Some investors want to pull their hair out after such a day. I don’t have any hair. Does that put me at an advantage? The debt deal got signed by Obama and the market […]

Ensure Your Dividends With These Insurance Stocks

July 28, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 11 Comments

This article originally appeared on The DIV-Net July 21, 2011 As any other dividend growth investor knows, maintaining dividends is of the utmost priority for an investment. Raising dividends is, of course, extremely important as well, but a dividend cut is disastrous. It would result in the loss of income and the likely significant drop […]

Defense Stocks On Sale?

June 21, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 10 Comments

I’ve been taking a long, hard look at some defense stocks lately and wondering if they have a spot in my dividend portfolio. There are pros and cons to every business in this universe, but I think some of those of pros/cons are amplified when you are looking at defense stocks. Let’s take a look […]

Two Stocks On My Watchlist

June 8, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 10 Comments

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down almost 4.5% over the past month, and while not a correction by conventional definitions (10% or more drop), the market has still experienced a healthy retraction. I’m excited when I see moves like this in the market. I generally make purchases every month, because I believe that I […]

Three High Yield Stocks On My Radar

March 25, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 4 Comments

Looking at my portfolio over the last few days, I have noticed that I only have one high-yield stock currently in the stable. That one stock would be my position with Altria (MO). I consider a high yield anything over 5.5%, especially in this low-rate environment. I have a long watch list that I monitor […]
