Every Sunday, I uncover a high-quality dividend growth stock that appears to be undervalued. These pieces are published at Daily Trade Alert, which is a site that focuses on dividend growth investing, stocks, and unique investment opportunities. I’ve been writing for them for years now, and they’re just great over there. Each week, I publish an excerpt of my work here, when it’s fresh off the press. That way, you readers are given the chance to check it out. The content is totally free. I hope you enjoy!
We’ve never had more choices or options than we do right now, in the 21st century.
You can just about buy or do anything – day or night.
While it’s exciting to know you can buy merchandise online at 3 a.m. or, say, get a pizza at midnight, there’s only one store and one kind of merchandise that should be the center of one’s focus until they’re financially independent.
That store is the stock market.
And the merchandise is high-quality dividend growth stocks.

Jason, I agree w this pick as well. Thanks!
Anonymous,
We’re on the same page. 🙂
Cheers!
Such a great company that continue to improve in every way… including dividends. I remember seeing some photos of old hard drives that were made by IBM (I think) and they were large in physical size but only 5mb. It is amazing how far we have come. Thanks for sharing.
BHL,
They’ve come a long way… over and over again. There’s really no major tech company out there that’s been able to stick around and adapt like this. They’ve had a bit of a tough go lately, but there’s evidence that the turnaround is finally here.
Best regards.
Thanks so much for sharing. I don’t currently own any IBM but they seem like a really good pick at the current yield. Thanks so much.
MPW,
Happy to share! 🙂
Best wishes.
Jason, INTC is getting cheap again. If it goes to 45 would be about 10 times next yea’s projected earnings.
DD,
Sounds good!
Cheers.
Jason,
What could you say to someone that want to invest in a portfolio of dividend growth companies but don’t know how to analyse the results of a companie??
Jose,
Knowledge is power. It’s not difficult to learn how to invest. If you’re looking to be lazy and never learn how to do anything, you’ll experience the commensurate results in life.
This is why I’ve listed so many fantastic books as resources here on the site. Nobody is gifted with this knowledge upon birth. You have to educate yourself. If a poor kid from a crack house in Detroit can learn how to do it, so can just about anyone.
All that said, if one has neither the desire to learn nor the aptitude, buying index funds is the way to go. Although, even this requires some measure of knowledge/education.
Best regards!
Thank you for your reply.
I agree about what you said and that’s why i’m reading all about fundamental analisys. Until i get the knowledge i need, i have started investing in index fund and some individual stocks.
Congratulations from Portugal:)
Hi Jason,
Yes, never count out Big Blue. It’s looking good at the current price and yield.
Just locked down a small position in the newly merged Keurig Dr Pepper, breaks
my rule about untested company and dividend history but found it hard to resist
that brand portfolio.
Regards,
DN
DN,
Big Blue should be renamed to Big Dividend. 🙂
Cheers!
My bank uses a number of IBM applications. We use Lotus Notes to do wire transfers and look up the numbers for various employees and departments, FileNet to store copies of signature cards, maintenance forms, corporate formation documents, and other legal documents, and probably some others. A pizzeria near my parents’ house uses IBM-branded cash registers.
IBM’s book of products isn’t just huge; it’s products are necessary for companies to conduct business, and this is something I experience everyday. That’s why even though I tend to shy away from tech companies for various reasons, IBM has been a major holding for me for years.
And I ain’t complaining.
Sincerely,
ARB–Angry Retail Banker
ARB,
I’m not complaining either, although I become particularly averse to complaining four times per year. 🙂
Best regards.
