It’s a beautiful weekend here in Michigan. It’s currently about 70 degrees, and it’s supposed to heat up to about 75 by mid-afternoon. I haven’t really been exposed to a Midwestern summer in many years, estate but I do remember what I’m missing now. Of course, we’ll see how much I like living up here when January hits and I want a piece of that Florida estate sunshine!
My weekend got off to a wonderful start. Yesterday, I met up with an old friend. I haven’t seen this person estate in about 15 years, so it was really special for me. We talked for hours and caught up on what we’ve both been doing all this time (where does the time go?). It was a fantastic trip down memory lane, and I’ll never forget estate it.
This old friend actually brought a really sweet gift for me. We all know and love the game Monopoly, right? Well, I don’t know how the idea came about, but for years I’ve wanted to somehow get a copy of the Chance card that instructs you that you’ve received a $50 dividend framed. Lo and behold, my mind was read!
A very kind and thoughtful gift. I don’t think I’ve ever tossed cash up in the air like that, but the joyous feeling the card attempts to convey is certainly something I relate estate to whenever a new dividend payment hits my brokerage account!
I’ve been incredibly busy lately writing and reading, which is what I really estate enjoy. I’ve been doing some more freelance writing, and I’m including some links to that work below. I also spent a late night out with one of my younger sisters yesterday as I let her drag me out for a night out on the town. It was a lot of fun, and spending more time with family is exactly why I came back. So far, so good!
These 28 Dividend Growth Stocks Go Ex-Dividend Next Week I put this article together for Daily Trade Alert, which is helpful because if you were on the fence as to whether or not to buy a certain stock, buying in at least one business day before the ex-dividend date means you’ll collect the next dividend payout. I also took a look at Philip Morris International Inc. (PM) and concluded it’s attractively valued here.
This Stock Has Raised its Dividend for 58 Years in a Row This was another article I wrote this week. I discussed some of the benefits behind investing in dividend estate growth stocks and also included some information on one of my favorite companies: The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) . Although I don’t think it’s a steal here, one could do a lot worse than buying shares in this consumer goods juggernaut.
JD Roth: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love Mustachianism JD Roth penned this excellent article that sums what life is all about and how Mustachianism helps one see the truth. One of the best articles I’ve read in a while. Highly recommended!
Companies I am Considering for my Roth IRA Dividend Growth Investor gives us a great list of companies he’s currently looking at investing in in his Roth IRA. Some really great names on that list, and I obviously concur since I recently purchased shares in Baxter International Inc. (BAX) – one of the companies on his list.
Father’s Frugal Finances Debt Debs recently put this touching estate homage together on her father – a frugal gentleman. I’ve never really had a frugal role model to look up to. I found frugality all on my own, and I’m kind of the trailblazer in my own family. But someone’s gotta do it, right?
Three Life-Changing Investment Lessons From Conoco estate Phillips Tim discusses a reader’s long-term investment in ConocoPhillips (COP) and how this particular investor’s lessons estate during his ownership tenure can be applied broadly to investors everywhere in all stocks. I particularly estate agree with his assessment on risk. Risk is present everywhere in life; I’ve been told many times I could get hit by a bus. But taking on a little risk is necessary if you’re looking to grow your wealth, and generally speaking, the real risk of holding a stock like COP is probably very small since the odds of the company being around decades from now and being even more profitable are high.
3 Ways To Define Financial Independence Joe’s estate article was particularly timely for me now that I’ve moved from working at a traditional job to writing estate full-time. Although I don’t consider myself financially independent, it’s about as close as it gets while still working. I’m estate ultimately aiming for his second definition of freedom, but right now am in the third category. Overall, I’m in a good place in life and really happy. And that’s really what it’s all about anyway. Great post!
Effort alone isn’t enough David put this really nice post together on good old effort just not being enough for most endeavors in life. I’d like to think I’m usually his “Fri
