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. Every week a new article comes out, I’m going to publish an excerpt here. That way, you readers are given the opportunity to check it out. The content is free, just like here at Mr. Free At 33. I hope you enjoy!
If I could go back in time and tell the 18-year-old version of me anything, I’d tell him to save his money and invest regularly in high-quality dividend growth stocks at attractive prices.
I wouldn’t need to give him any other information on what’s yet in store.
No winning lottery numbers would be necessary, because investing this way is almost just like winning the lottery: my six-figure dividend growth stock portfolio is worth over $300,000, which is on par with a lot of lottery jackpots.
And this portfolio generates five-figure dividend income that’s growing, which is enough to cover a substantial chunk of my core personal expenses.
But check this out.

i like it, good idea.
blahblah098,
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I’m not sure all readers are aware of these articles. I put just as much time into these as I ever did with anything else, so this makes sure everyone has an opportunity to see this content. That’s especially nice considering that this site will be less stock focused. 🙂
Best regards!
Nice pick Jason, I’ll have to do some more research into VFC. It’s a name I’ve had on my long-term research list for awhile now but haven’t really studied too much in depth.

Mr. SFZ,
Four straight decades of dividend growth kind of speaks for itself. Not my favorite industry, but it stands head and shoulders above everyone else (in this industry) in regards to their dividend.
Best of luck with the research! 🙂
Cheers.
There’s a lot to like about VFC long term. It’s been with me since 2007 and is one of my top performers. I’m liking this name too, especially below $60. I just added some last week after Friday’s nice decline.
Keith,
Under $60 sounds like a great price to me, relative to its value.
I’m thinking of adding more, too. It’s not something I see as a big position, but I have some room here for more.
Glad to be a fellow shareholder! 🙂
Cheers.
Glad youre back!
Hope you will still keep montly and weekly updates of your portfolio.
And I always loved the posts where you talked about dividend raises, like getting 200 USD annual dividend raise and how it equals to investing around 6500 USD of new capital.
Hopefully I can join the freedom club sooner than expected as well!
All the best,
Diviendstrainer
DS,
Yeah, I definitely plan to continue updating the portfolio once per month just like I always have. So I’ll publish an update in early October reflecting any changes that occurred in September.
I will be focusing a lot less on dividends and dividend growth investing in general, however. After 1,000 or so articles there, I’ve covered a lot of ground. 🙂
This is the next phase of financial freedom, reflecting personal and financial growth. Financial freedom, believe it or not, is a lot more than just money, stocks, and dividends. The money is actually the easy part, in my view. The hard part is the rest of life. Figuring out what you want, who you are, and how to go about pursuing happiness. I think those that just focus on money are making a big mistake. But that’s just my view on it. And so I want to have a dialogue with people about happiness and how to get the most out of the time we worked so hard to buy. This is the “what” and the “why” of financial freedom. The “how” is certainly still interesting, but I think I’ve already done a great job covering much of that. Keep in mind that this is a real-life journey, too. Me continuing to cover what it looks like at the base of the mountain when I’m already at the top would be disingenuous.
Hope you enjoy what’s to come!
Take care.
Thanks for cluing me into this, Jason! Loving the idea of this company at $58 (at the time of this comment). And as populations grows, it’s not unreasonable to believe that more and more people will be wearing jeans, right?
Sincerely,
ARB–Angry Retail Banker
ARB,
It’s a very solid business, especially considering the industry. I don’t see it as a big position for me, due to the fickle nature of fashion, but they have a dividend growth track record that blows a lot of other seemingly stable businesses out of the water. A lot to be said for that.
Thanks for dropping by!
Cheers.
Look who’s back!! Love the new site man. You really inspired me! Thank you!
DD,
Hey, I’m really glad to hear that. If there’s anything I’m proud of over the last few years, it’s the inspiration I’ve provided to people like yourself. That’s something that will stay with me forever. I’m really happy to hear that. 🙂
Also glad you’re digging the new site. I’m really excited to go in a slightly different direction with things, exploring the purpose of all of this in real-time.
Hope you stay in touch!
Best regards.
