Wisdom's Reward

Tuscaloosa

Dividend Focus is a series of monthly newsletter reports designed by the author to answer the question, " “If I were setting aside money this month to invest in the stock market, in which specific companies and management teams would I be placing my trust?”
Dividend Focus is built upon the following principles:
1) Stocks should be viewed primarily as income producing assets.
2) Focusing on dividends helps individuals follow biblical instructions for avoiding emotional decision making, and instead applying wisdom, analysis, and due diligence toward investments.
3) We can identify attractive dividend paying stocks by reviewing and analyzing the dividend track record, corporate governance issues, financial health of the companies in question, sustainable competitive advantages of those companies, and the potential for future dividend growth.
4) We cannot ignore the desire for current income, but instead seek to balance it with the potential for future dividend growth.
5) Capital gains are an extremely important part of the overall equation for investors. But, one of the best paths to attractive capital gains is through strong dividend growth.
6) The reinvestment of dividends has a very important compounding effect that produces massive effects on the wealth created for individual investors over long periods. This effect is especially compelling for anyone using tax-advantaged accounts (IRAs, 401Ks, etc.) to invest over the long term.
If you are already an active investor, or looking to begin making investments in the U.S. stock market, it is our sincere hope and belief that you will find these monthly reports to be educational and informative.
