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
- 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.
- Dividends 4 Life – Dividend News Articles
- Dividend Assets Capital – An investment firm that specializes in DGI

Motley Fool articles on dividend stocks
S&P Dividend Aristocrats –
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 2018.
| Year | Total | Champions | Contenders | Challengers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 865 | 130 | 200 | 535 |
| 2017 | 815 | 113 | 222 | 480 |
| 2016 | 764 | 107 | 226 | 431 |
| 2015 | 753 | 106 | 253 | 394 |
| 2014 | 589 | 105 | 246 | 238 |
| 2013 | 471 | 105 | 211 | 155 |
| 2012 | 466 | 106 | 180 | 180 |
| 2011 | 449 | 102 | 145 | 202 |
| 2010 | 417 | 98 | 129 | 190 |
