 "As a dividend growth investor, I’m a big believer in stocks with a long dividend growth history and it worked for me over the past 30 years.

This excellent ebooks and excel tools cover all essential aspects for private and institutional investors. I use these tools often to sharpen my view on the markets."

Peter Skole – Private Investor

 "I discovered the market for years as an analyst and know that dividend growth stocks are the top investments on the market. They offer less risks because of their ability to pay and grow dividends. The price you pay for this is simple: They have a limited ability to become the next tenbagger or game changer company. If you look for high growth technology stocks or want to make money with Penny stocks or binary options, you should take other sources for your research.

I’ve analyzed many value stocks in my career and most of them were dividend growers like constituents from the yield fact books. These lists compile a big number of high quality stocks. If you have less time, it’s the perfect tool to stay up to date."

Is Traditional Apparel Retailing A Buying Opportunity?

Given the recent negative performance of many apparel retailers and some calls that traditional apparel retailing is dead, we are addressing our thoughts on these issues and discussing which subsectors and companies we see as positioned best for long-term success. 

In our opinion, there has been a secular shift in apparel retailing that is a persistent force. 

We believe the current trend toward value over brand is here to stay. Unless a product can perform notably better than the competition (keep you warmer, keep you drier, perform better in athletic situations), consumers appear unwilling to pay a premium simply to own a brand. 

We also think that shifts in wallet share are here to stay, with experience (travel, restaurants) valued over apparel, and other costs--including healthcare, education, and housing--rising in share. 

Finally, we think the shift in distribution channel toward digital will persist. 

As a result, we agree that apparel retail growth is not likely to return to historical levels. Having acknowledged that, we do believe that we are at a low point in the apparel retail cycle and there is future upside.

We do not believe brick-and-mortar apparel retailing is dead; however, it will look much different in the future. We think there is a place for stores where consumers can touch fabrics, try sizes, and see fit. 

However, the apparel industry has experienced much self-inflicted near-term malaise. Many management teams have been overly optimistic regarding inventory levels and have not converted to more modern, responsive supply chains. 

This has resulted in a highly promotional retail environment that has forced even well-run companies to discount to remain competitive. Also, we think we are nearing the end of the athleisure fashion trend. 

With consumers having enough skinny and yoga pants to clothe themselves for a while and no new fashion must-haves, nothing is driving discretionary purchases.

Check out a summary of the big fishes in traditional retailing:

20 Potentially Undervalued Dividend Stocks

One of the most common pitfalls for investors is their tendency to chase returns in the market; that is to say, many investors are prone to being lured by “hot” names on Wall Street that are making big gains, as opposed to focusing on the “out of favor,” high-quality companies that may be due for a rebound. But it's risky to follow market gurus or to go with the trend.

Maybe a better approach could be buying, fundamentally-sound dividend stocks that seem to be underpriced at the moment. Make no mistake, like many feats in the investing world, this one is also easier said than done. 

As such, below we’ve tried to discover a few undervalued stocks that might be interesting for income investors. We've used a tool with data from CapitalIQ, a Standard&Poors Company. 

These stocks pay at least 2% dividend and are available at a discount to their share price.

The following criteria have been used to create this view:

- Modest dividend of at least 2%

- Potentially undervalued Discount > 10%)

- An acceptable financial position.

- No 'warning' companies

The forward P/E from most of the results are close to 10 or below.

These are the results:

14 High-Yielding Value Picks

Value investors are focused on deep values. They can identify values by looking at the cashflows from the company. If they are strong and reliable, there seems to be good values.

What if we combine the value with high yields in the future? I've tried to select several stocks that are classified by Reuters with high yields in the future.

In addition, those stocks have a good finance situation, a very solid and predictable business and comfortable profitability. 14 stocks fulfilled my criteria. Attached is also a sheet of all results with the most important fundamentals.

12 Stocks That Are No Dividend Champs Due To Flat Payments But Great Dividend Investments

Dividends are nice, to be sure … particularly to long-term investors who specifically need reliable income.

But not all dividend stocks are created equally. To remain a viable long-term holding to income seekers, these cash-producing stocks also need to offer reliable dividend growth over time to fight off the effects of inflation.

What good is a stagnant dividend, after all — as the payout stays the same, its purchasing power slowly erodes. And it’s surprising how many dividend paying companies don’t up their payouts to even keep pace with inflation.

It's not a shame when a company runs his dividend flat for a few years but the strengh dividend growth criteria don't add them up into the Dividend Champions league.

Here is a list of stocks that can be classified the the non-consistent dividend growers. You can also check out the Dividend Aristocrats list from 1989 to 2014. There is a great overview about how the index has changed his members.

10 Top Money Returning Dividend Stocks From The Russell 3000

Dividend growth investors look for stocks with regular rising dividends as well as high growth too. 

Growth and income make a winning combination that in the best dividend stocks leads to life-changing, long-term gains. 

In order to find the best of the best, I looked for stocks in the Russell 3000 Index that have a current dividend yield of at least 2% and have raised their payouts by at least 10% annually over the past 10 years.

In addition, to incorporate the need for growth, I took the qualifying stocks and ranked them by their total return since a decade ago. Below are the top yielding results in detail and attached a full list, sorted by yield.

Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On October 10, 2013

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

In total, 54 stocks go ex dividend - of which 30 yield more than 3 percent. Here is a full list of all stocks with ex-dividend date within the current week.

Here is the sheet of the best yielding, higher capitalized ex-dividend stocks:
