THE DIVIDEND ROOM

Just as the name Dividend Yield Investor indicates is my affinity with dividends; for they have never gone out of style as far as I'm concerned.  In the end they are the real reason investors, as opposed to speculators, purchase quality companies with increasing dividends.  In my mind these are the true growth stocks.  As the dividend is increased over time so will the stock price. As the legendary Charles Dow has written:

"To know values is to know the meaning of the market.  And values, when applied to stocks, are determined in the end by the dividend yield."  

The Dividend Room is a new addition to my blog showing a list of high quality dividend paying stocks for your further study.  All picks are basic time tested value approach. All companies have a reasonable low level of debt for their respective industry and a low PE multiple. Of course a competitive dividend yield 50% greater than the S&P 500.  Also screened companies that have increased their dividends on a regular basis (true growth stocks). Included is additional screens based upon the Benjamin Graham approach for the defensive investor.

Our attempt is to find ten or more high quality companies with a yield 50% greater than the S&P 500.  Recommend selling when the dividend yield is less than the S&P 500 or after 3 years the shares have failed to rise by 50% or future prospects are so dismal a sale is warranted.

For diversification purposes recommend building up to 40 to 50 companies.
