It was also a hard
week for short-term orientated investors because volatility rises due to topics
like Ebola and a weaker European economy.
The Dow lost 2.73
percent within the past week while the S&P 500 was down 3.12 percent and NASDAQ
down 4.44 percent.
You know that I
have not sold any of my stockholdings. I'm not a fearful investor who sells his
wonderful businesses and cash-in some money, pay taxes and waiting for new
opportunities.

I like to make money with stocks by
holding them over a decade or more. Only over a long period of time, companies
can create value.
I keep my eyes on
new targets which were very rare in the past because American stocks are some
of the most expensive companies in the whole world but they offer also the
biggest insurance for investors.
The Dollar is a
safe heaven and he still dominates the world. I keep my money into USD.

Within the past week, only one big company - Kimberly-Clark, announced a 2 billion buyback program. The next biggest program came from Liberty Interactive.
On the dividend
growth side, twelve companies raised dividend payments. The biggest companies
here were Kraft Foods and Plains All American Pipeline.
Many oil- and gas pipeline companies are part of the dividend growers list. Those companies have experienced a big boom by creating energy infratructure but they have also high debt figures, compareable with REITs or Telecoms.
Below are my five favorites from the week. I hope you like my selection. I personally own only KFT and KMB, both are consumer giants.
