The start to December has provided some rocky moments in the market, to say the least. There was a new stock that popped up on my screener (which will also be on my watch list going forward at these levels). It is the holiday season and I’m sure you have seen their delivery trucks buzzing around the neighborhood. Here is why I have initiated a position in United Parcel Services (UPS).
As Christmas is approaching, the sounds of the music rings in that the year is almost over. I am still sitting on a sizable cash position that I am looking to deploy into an undervalued dividend stock – the one with the right metrics, that shows undervaluation, is performing better than the past, etc. Furthermore, there are investors who have capital built up, including myself, and I never like to let cash sit idle. Given this, I am constantly trying to find the right company, to invest my money, to gain value and build a dividend income stream. In my attempt to find a consumer-based company, one that will generate significant volume and revenue when economic times are good and bad, I turned to an iconic branded company. This iconic branded company has been around for 130+ years and is also coined as one of the, “Dividend Aristocrats”, having increased their dividend for 25+ years. In fact, this iconic company has delivered a streak of 55+ years of increasing their dividend. Yes, I am talking about The Coca-Cola Company (KO).
The following is a guest post from one of our friends, discussing a topic that we haven’t written about too frequently on our website. Sure, we screen stocks to identify undervalued dividend growth stocks. But we haven’t covered identifying the best time to trade for both short-term and long-term investors.

On the other side, longer-term investors don’t have to worry about the best time to invest, as in the long-term, the time could be right now.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the best times to invest in the market both for short-term traders and long-term investors, and show you a few tricks that can help you decide what’s the best time to sell your investments. Continue reading
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The winter is upon us and the holiday season is right around the corner. It is time to bust out the Christmas Trees, decorations, menorahs, and whatever else you and your families use to celebrate the holidays. I know our house is ready to go!

We are one month from the dividend income showdown in December. Yes, this month marks the preparation for the biggest dividend month of them all.
