September 2016 Dividend Growth Watchlist

My Motif account is working again for me so I am able to put my watchlist into a Motif and watch how it does over time.  This month I had it put together weeks ago but havn't had time to write about it until now (almost October).

The list hasn't changed much and all of these are great buys for the market we are currently in.  The biggest surprise was that Flowers Foods (FLO) finally creaped into the DFG watchlist.  The chart below is all data from the beginning of the month so I am sure some things have changed.  What hasn't changed is all these companies paying dividends for over 10 years and still going.

 Many of these companies are on other DGI watchlists out there so I am starting to have a little faith in the ol' DFG Stock Screen.  SPAN seems to be one that no one talks about because of it's size I am guessing.  However at 17 years it is doing far better as a dividend growth stock than some big guys like Cisco.

Overall this group of stocks has been under-performing for the month compared to the rest of the S&P 500.  But that is OK.  It means they will still be a decent bargain when I get some cash from other dividends to purchase these companies.

 Almost 11 so gotta go and catch some zzzs before starting the grind again tomorrow.

 Happy investing,
Dividend Family Guy

    hanks for sharing your watchlist. Are you planning on buying any of these stocks this month? I bought Target shares on Monday and I'm thinking of buying more shares of TROW later this week.

    Hey DFG, nice watchlist. Out of those T Rowe and Qualcomm look appealing to me :)

      Hey Tristan,

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?

Image
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 ...
