The last one month has seen the stock price of the S&P 500 decline by more than 8%, and 8.22% to be exact (as of Labor Day weekend)! There are many things working AGAINST the market at this point in time – China, Oil prices, Canada officially in recession, as well as many other global crises occurring. However, and most importantly – I feel that consumer sentiment is also moving against the market, as the Michigan survey has indicated a downslide from July 2015 to August 2015. What does this stock market downturn mean for Dividend Investors? One Word. Opportunity. Continue reading

Bert’s August Income and Expense Summary
Last month I ended my three-month hiatus of posting savings rates articles and afterwards, I vowed to publish my monthly summary in a timely fashion. One of my goals for 2015 is to defeat the Dividend Diplomats’ Savings Challenge and save 60% of my monthly income 6 times in 2015. Will I be able to recover from my just miss in July, where I saved 56.9% of my income? Let’s find out!
Walt Disney Co. (DIS) Stock Analysis
What a great time to come out with a dividend stock analysis, with the market taking a burn down, AGAIN. This has allowed other stocks to pop up on the radar and intrigues me to dig a little deeper on a few stocks. This time – we are going coast to coast, from country to country and I am getting geared up to have a nice little Fantasia on what Disney is all about. We all grew up watching Mickey, Minnie, Donald and the gang as a kid, now time to look at them again as an adult or a dividend stock investor. Let’s see what magic we can find here!
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – NSC
I’m back at it again! The market again, has taken a downturn south and one of my newly created positions from last month went on sale this week/today more specifically. Sometimes… if you have the idle cash it’s best to use that and average down a position that you want to build, buy more income for less and smile as you do it. I was lucky enough to do just that, I made a purchase today to a position I already have. Let’s take a look on who that was.
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – EMR
Well.. the market keeps saying- buy me, buy me, and there are opportune stocks everywhere at the moment, in my book. I took advantage of a recent price slide on a stock that many have been purchasing over the last month, including the one and only – Bert. I took a page out of his book and couldn’t be more thankful that he founded them in his screener and made my life a little easier. Thanks again Bert for doing that, I appreciate it. I had capital that finally was able to transfer over, now let’s see who, how much and why I bought this stock.
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – DOW
The market hit a nice turn again for the worse, after a earnings have started to be released for companies. I saw the red, the deep red and I had to put in a nice little limit order on a stock, where it was already down over 6% from a price I recently looked at it… I didn’t really thing it would get lower… lower it did. Now let’s take a look at the purchase.
Dividend Diplomats July Watch List
The month of July has been a very unusually favorable month – especially if you have capital! We have seen the market go up and down, similar to last month, except this week, recently, the market has been on a bigger slide, opening up, of course, great dividend stock buying opportunities. Given the new opportunities unfolding in front of our eyes, it of course leaves us to really pin point down to which stocks are we really looking to purchase into. Lets see what is on our July watch list!
