The Best Energy Dividend Stock *

D4L — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 07:30:56 +0000

The 2008 financial melt-down caught many income investors over-allocated in financial stocks. There was a false sense of security because stocks like Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC), and others, were large blue-chip stocks with a long string of consecutive dividend increases. Though they were deemed too big to fail, there weren’t too big to cut their dividends, and they did. Many dividend investors learned the importance of sector allocation the hard way.

Financials, Consumer Goods and Health Care offer a multitude of excellent dividend companies. So much so, I struggle to keep my allocation below the 10% level that I limit sectors to. The Energy sector is one that I have studied for some time trying to find a worthy stock to buy. I may have finally found one…

Don’t Give Up On Nucor Just Yet *

D4L — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 07:30:09 +0000

Nucor (NUE) is a different kind of company. A line worker at NUE’s plant in Darlington, S.C. sent John J. Ferriola, the company’s chief operating officer, a note that simply said “Thank you for caring about me and my family.” NUE’s top management have received hundreds of similar cards and e-mails from their staff of 22,000. If you think this is different and somewhat odd, it is for other companies, but not NUE.

The company came into its own about the time people said that steel production in the U.S. was dead. However, NUE could be facing its greatest challenge ….

D4L Premium Services Offers A New Way To Subscribe *

D4L — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 07:30:25 +0000

I appreciate all the feedback I have received on the D4L Premium Services. I have been able to implement many of the great ideas that were presented by subscribers. One request that I have received over and over again has been to offer an alternative way to pay.

Most people don’t mind, and even like, PayPal, but a few others have had a bad experience with the company. Often this is hard (or impossible) to overcome. With that in mind, I spent a significant amount of time looking for an alternate company to process and collect payments. The company needed to be recognizable, have a good reputation and a large user base. Given that, Google Checkout was the logical choice.

In December, I began experimenting with Google Checkout and got comfortable enough to add it as an alternative way to subscribe. So what’s the difference between the two? As noted in the D4L-FAQ, “The PayPal option provides the most flexibility. With it you can subscribe monthly or annually. Since it is a subscription, the PayPal price you pay will not increase as long as the subscription is active. Google Checkout only offers a 12 month subscription that must be manually renewed each year at the current price – which means you could end up with a price increase from your previous subscription.” Google Checkout is working on a automatic renewing subscription, but I am not comfortable with implementing something that is labeled as ‘experimental’.

D4L Premium Services’ Price Will Never Be This Low Again *

D4L — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 07:30:36 +0000

Since its introduction in July 2009, the D4L Premium Services has seen excellent growth in both features and subscribers. It started with the initial release of the D4L-Dashboard. Then other services were added such as Analytical Reports, D4L-Alerts, D4L-Data and the monthly D4L-Newsletter. We are constantly looking for ways to provide our subscribers with value.

If you have ever thought about subscribing, there will never be a better time than now. A price increase for NEW subscribers is planned for January 2011. During the month of December you can still lock in 2010′s price and beat the 2011 price increase. This price increase will NOT affect current subscribers and anyone that subscribes in December.

Watch The Watch Lists *

D4L — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 07:30:29 +0000

Today we have a lot of great resources available to help us identify superior dividend growth investments. Most investors will start with S&P’s Dividend Aristocrats, the US Broad Dividend Achievers and the U.S. Dividend Champions. When combined, with duplicates eliminated, there are over 200 unique stocks on these lists.

That’s a lot of information you would have to sort through just to track and analyze potential investments. Unfortunately, the information is ever-changing with each quarterly earnings release, dividend announcements and other relevant external events. What’s an investor to do if they don’t want to spend an additional 20-30 hours each week tracking and researching their investments?

Most investors find a service that is closely aligned with their investing principles and allow them to do the footwork. For a growing number of dividend investors the D4L-Premium Services is providing them with relevant and timely information allowing them to make informed investing decisions.

Will You Have A Growing Income In Retirement *

D4L — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 07:30:41 +0000

During this economic downturn, my employer decided to forgo annual raises for all salaried employees for one year. After enjoying a raise for every year of my working life, I certainty missed not getting one. It made me stop and think, when I retire inflation will not stop and my expenses will continue to increase. Just to maintain my current standard of living, I will still need to see my annual income grow each year. It is not in my plans to continue working after retirement, so if I want to enjoy a rising income in my golden years, I had better start planning for it now.

I plan to rely on Dividend Growth Stocks to ensure my income continues to grow when I am no longer working. For this to work, I will need to build a solid dividend growth portfolio now, during my prime working years. Dividend growth stocks is a strategy that fits my personality well. I love to watch my annualized dividend income grow steadily each month, while not worrying about the day to day movements in my portfolio or the market.

Fortunately, I enjoy tracking hundreds of dividends stocks. If you don’t have the time or desire to do this, consider a service that is aligned with your goals such as D4L-Premium Services.

Take Charge of Your Future *

D4L — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 07:30:33 +0000

When it come to managing your money and ensuring there is enough for the kid’s education and a comfortable retirement, financial advisers aren’t losing sleep over your future. Make no mistake about it – no one cares more about your future than you. So what’s a person to do to make sure his or her future doesn’t become a bad “learning experience” or a textbook example of what not to do?

Here are a few items to consider:

1. Take Charge of Your Future.
If you are investing your own money, become a student and constantly study how you can be a better investor. If someone else invests your money, take an active role – monitor the progress, ask questions, be sure you know what they are doing with YOUR money.

2. Select a Appropriate Investment Strategy
If you are a conservative investor, penny stocks are probably not the way to go. A dividend growth strategy is what best fits my profile. I enjoy watching my annualized dividend income grow steadily each month, while not worrying about the day to day movements in my portfolio or the market.

3. Make Informed Decisions
Don’t buy or sell on a whim. There is a lot of information (and noise) out there. Things change quickly and you need to be prepared to act. If you don’t have the time or inclination to do this, find an independent third-party you trust, such as D4L-Premium Services.

D4L-Dashboard: An easy to read, color-coded, dashboard that sorts the 190+ stocks by Stars and yield.
