DFG June 2016 Stock Screen Top 10

I had set this up earlier this month and forgot to share my stock screen with you all for the lovely month of June.

 If I had bought The Gap Inc. I would have been in a great position.  GPS is already up 12.6% for the month.   See what happens when you have a family and no time :-)

 There are a couple other companies that are up this month as well and would be great investments for my portfolio if they continue to show up in my screen.

 Meredith Corp. (MDP) is up 7.1 %
Bar Harbor Bankshares Inc (BHB) is up 9.6%
Cummins Inc. (CMI) is up 7.2%. 

 Cummins keeps showing up on the screen so I keep increasing my position with them. 

 Of course Best Buy was in the screen but has continued to deteriorate and is down 7.1% for the month.

 Target makes the list and is pretty steady this month.  I see nothing wrong at this time that would stop me from buying more. 

 

I am long on ORI, CMI and TGT.

 Anyone worried about TGT long term?  

 Happy investing,
Dividend Family Guy

    DFG,
    Just came across your blog. You are on the right track with dividend paying stocks and long term positions.

    I have purchased TGT 3 times over the last 3 years at the urging of my wife and it will continue as a long term hold for us. I do worry about brick and motar retailers in general but TGT seems to be doing just fine. In our college town they compete against WMT but do just fine. The registers are usually 4-5 deep when ever I go there.

    Personally I like B&M retail for purchases as they make returning items so easy if needed.

    BTW retirement on Dividend income does work and work well. We are living the dream.

    Good luck on your journey.

    DFG,

    My wife and I retired a year ago at 58 and 60 and have been living well off dividend income.

    We have always lived below our means, saved like crazy and have been investing since our 20's.

    Our portfolio yield is 3.9% - 4.1% depending in the market value with a YOC of 4.5%.

    I only look at stocks that have increased their dividend for 20+ years so the only one you mentioned is MDP, which also has a low PE of only 13.

      Yeah mine are 15+. This gives me a little large list from the screen to work with and research. I figured if you can last through the Great Recession you can survive the long haul.
      Cheers,

Will Dividends Teach My Kids to Work Hard?

After reading an article about education and learning from Mr. Money Mustache last week I starting thinking about my kids and their upbringing vs. how I was raised.  There was lots of discipline but also a tremendous amount of freedom.  That combined with loving parents taught me many lessons in life that I believe have led me to a great career and the joy of raising a large family.  The one thing that worries me the most is a fear that my children do not value gifts or money they receive as much as I did as a child. As a child I remember talking with my sister days before my birthday.  We share the same birthday one year apart.  We would spend the time talking excitedly about what we might get for our birthday.  Gifts were usually only on birthdays or major holidays.  Easter baskets filled with candy, or presents on Christmas or birthdays. Growing up with one TV that didn’t get the best reception left us with plenty of time to day drea...

What to write about when you have no money to invest?

Without any money to invest from January all I could do is screen and learn about some new stocks that came up this month.  It is my hope still to save enough where I can actually invest on a regular basis again.  Part of me wants to start using loyal3 or computershare.com .  Buy for free and sell for free on Loyal3 or for a fee on Computershare.  That way I can continue to invest in some of the strong dividend payers these companies allow you to buy.  The other part wants simplicity and is willing to pay the fee to keep all my money in one place with one tax document.   The third part just reminded me my goal is to first rebuild an emergency fund.  That part is such a downer and is no fun.  The fourth part is my wife who wants me to put any free money into home improvements.  I avoid that conversation at all costs.   The house will hold up and last longer than me.  My time is what I want not a nicer house. I cou...

The Cost of A Vacation for Six

All investing and no fun can lead to a happy me but a not so happy family .  I am the only one who actually doesn't mind managing the finances and money matters in my family.  The kids are slowly learning and my wife leaves it to me since I use my computer and online services.  Both systems work but my system allows me to get things done faster and produce reports I enjoy studying. Here is the breakdown of our 7 night trip to the beach and a 2 day visit with my brother: Lodging $1,966 This was the largest expense.  We stayed at hotels during the trip there and while visiting my brother.  Luckily we have a relative that works at a major hotel chain and is able to pass a discount on to us.  The remainder of it which was the big chunk was the condo on the beach that we stayed at.   I found it as one of the deals on Kayak.com .  Overall the site was easy to use and compare different places.  Unfortunately I should have listened to ...
