I uncover a high-quality dividend growth stock that appears to be undervalued each week for 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, when it’s fresh off the press. That way, you readers are given the opportunity to check it out. The content is totally free. I hope you enjoy!
We’re confronted with a multitude of choices every single day of our lives.
What to eat for breakfast. Which route to take to work. How to respond to our boss’s crazy requests. Whether or not to hit the gym later.
Such is life.
But to invest or not to invest isn’t really so much a choice as it is a necessity and personal responsibility.
After all, there’s going to be a day when we won’t want to or no longer can work.
And we’ll have to generate income somehow.

TRV has been on my watch list seemingly forever. A quality insurance play that I feel I missed buying into at around $100 less than a year ago. It’s a name I am still considering for my long term DGI portfolio and would love to add it to my other insurance holdings, CB and AFL. Thanks for sharing.
Keith,
I think TRV is a pretty solid long-term idea here. It’s not $100. But it’s really not too far off here. Could have had it at ~$114 just a couple weeks ago, though. That drop after Harvey was kind of silly, but that’s the market. Either way, strong dividend growth should continue for many more years to come.
Cheers!
Glad to see that we are still getting these knowing you will be gone I was afraid you may take a break. Thanks again for this and have a safe trip and enjoy your new life 😀

Nandy,
I’m happy and blessed to be able to put these articles together. 🙂
No break planned. Will still stay pretty busy with content and everything else over there, which is just fine by me. I thoroughly enjoy writing. The co-working spaces over there are incredible, so I may end up producing even more content.
Thanks for dropping by!
Cheers.
Very interesting pick. Seems as if the graph shows a very nice story of increased growth. Thanks for sharing!
BHL,
Happy to share!
Cheers.
I’ve been a happy TRV shareholder for some time. What a great business to be in! I really need to add other insurance holdings to my portfolio.
I was wondering on your opinion of CAT as a sell. I’ve had the stock for years, but it really took off recently after USB increased their outlook on the company. I was considering trimming my holdings and putting the capital gains to work in other stocks. But I’m also hearing about how the current fundamentals aren’t just strong, but the current climate of deregulation and pro-manufacturing, coupled with the need to rebuild after the hurricanes, are such a tailwind that many areare recommending to buy more. But the P/E is over 650 and the EPS is less than the dividend!
Personally, I think it’s time to trim my holdings of CAT (not selling the whole thing as it’s been a reliable dividend payer), but I just wanted to bounce the idea off you and see what you thought.
Sincerely,

ARB,
Love the insurance space. It’s been very kind to me. I’m looking forward to living in Thailand, which will allow me to forgo all insurance completely. Then I can use that capital to continue building out my own float. Profit off of insurance, but don’t buy any. Talk about arbitrage. 🙂
I sold out of CAT a little while back. The fundamentals just don’t seem to support the valuation, even if there’s a significant bounce in the numbers. It seems to me that there’s a lot of hope around some kind of major infrastructure bill/spending, but that hasn’t materialized yet. Moreover, I’ve decided to minimize my exposure to cyclical businesses in general.
Thanks for dropping by!
Best regards.
