It’s the middle of the month and well, you know the Dividend Diplomats have a tough time sitting on the side lines during market movements!

Procter & Gamble (PG) Stock Analysis
It’s close to the middle of the month and the market has still been extremely volatile. With that, I know that opportunities are out there, wonderful opportunities, especially dividend stocks that are aristocrats.

The market was on a nice decline today, came slightly back, but then took another slide in the park for us. Let’s dive in about who, why and how much I bought of a certain stock!
Lanny’s August Dividend Income
August is already in the midst of wrapping up and I have tallied my dividend income total for the month.

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.

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!
