Dividend Investing
One of the topics of this blog is dividend investing.
My motto is: If a stock does not pay, then I do not play.
Here are some dividend investing blogs that I look at:
- Buy Hold Long – Dividend Investor in Australia
- The Conservative Income Investor –
- DGI for the DYI – As of 2019-01-20, this site was last updated on 2018-09-15. However, it looks like he has posted articles on Seeking Alpha, with the latest on 2018-12-18.
- DivGro – Another huge blog roll.
- Dividends 4 Life – Dividend News Articles
- Dividend Cake – A blogger in Belgium.
- Dividend Channel – More of a news site than a blog.
- Dividend Daze –
- Dividend Detective – good information, terrible layout
- Dividend Diplomats –
- Dividend Driven – has a huge blogroll, which includes yours truly. It is so extensive, I may stop updating this page (2016-11-25_08.31.54).
- Dividend Family Guy – As of 2019-11-03, this is now a landing site for porn.
- Dividend Growth Forum – Exactly what it says.
- Dividend Growth Stocks – a good site
- Dividend Growth Investing –
- Dividend Growth Investing and Retirement – Not as long a URL as Has the Large Hadron Collider Destroyed the World Yet, but close. This blogger is based in Canada. As of 2019-05-12, they have not posted since 2019-02-04.
- Dividend Growth Investor – one of the better sites
- The Dividend Guy –
- Dividend Hawk –
- DivHut – A site with a large blogroll.

- Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment – This has a lot on the front page. To see their latest blog posts, I think you need to go to their Atom feed.
- Engineering Dividends – A blog with a VERY large header graphic. If there is a blog out there called “Designing Dividends”, they should give this guy a call.
- Income Investors –
- Mr. Tako Escapes – More geared towards financial independence than dividends, but dividends seems to be a major topic.

Other dividend websites:
- Motley Fool articles on dividend stocks
- S&P Dividend Aristocrats –
- Dividend Achievers –
- Dividend Assets Capital – An investment firm that specializes in DGI –
- DRiP Investing Center – This page has the great Dividend Champions Spreadsheet. Historical archive here
- Dividend page at the Wall Street Journal.
- Miller/Howard Investments – Another firm that advocates dividend investing. They even have a book about it.
Following the style of David Fish (creator of the Dividend Champions spreadsheet), I refer to the first month of a quarter (January, April, July and October) as the “A” months, the second month of a quarter (February, May, August and November) as the “B” months, and the third month of a quarter (March, June, September and December) as the “C” months.
The Dividend Champion list divides companies into three categories depending on how long they have been raising their dividends: Champions (25 or more years), Contenders (10 to 24 years), and Challengers (5 to 9 years). Even if you using just ETFs (as I am), it is still a good idea to look at this list once in a while because it will tell you how many companies are raising dividends, and in my opinion give you a tool to gauge the health of the economy. Here is a table for the breakdown of CCC companies for every December from 2010 to 2019.
Here is a table with the values for January of each year (since that just seems to make more sense):
Year | Total | Champions | Contenders | Challengers |
---|---|---|---|---|
2021 | 729 | 139 | 308 | 282 |
2020 | 866 | 138 | 265 | 463 |
2019 | 864 | 131 | 205 | 528 |
2018 | 822 | 115 | 220 | 487 |
2017 | 768 | 108 | 227 | 433 |
2016 | 753 | 107 | 250 | 396 |
2015 | 611 | 106 | 246 | 259 |
2014 | 476 | 105 | 210 | 161 |
2013 | 458 | 105 | 183 | 170 |
2012 | 448 | 102 | 146 | 200 |
