53 Stocks With Over 1000% Return In 7 Years

We are talking a lot about capital return secured by dividends. Growth is an essential element to create wealth. 

Dividends give you a regual income and hedge you against capital losses. They are no wealth driver in general.

Today I would like to present a couple of stocks that tenfold over the past six years. Each of the companies generated a stock return over 1000% since 2009.

There are not many companies on the list, only 53. Most of them are high growth names like Starbucks, Netflix, Priceline or Expedia. 

The financial crisis also gave investors the great opportunity to buy high-quality businesses for a really cheap price. Especially high leveraged stocks with big debt burden or companies with cyclic products were traded at deep discounts.

Here is a table of percentage moves from the March 9, 2009 stock market bottom for 54 stocks with returns over 1,000% listed in alphabetical order.

These are the results...

50 Fastest Growing Dividend Stocks In May 2013

Stocks with highest dividend growth originally researched by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. When a company raises dividends, it’s always a good sign. A firm with a growing dividend let your passive income grow and could put you on the next level of your financial freedom.

But more important than a dividend hike is the intensiveness of the dividend growth. A one percent hike each year is good but it won’t help you over the time. What you need is a stronger growth, something in the range around the 10 percent level.

Today I run my screen of the 50 fastest dividend growers from last month. Below the results are again some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates. All stocks still have a double digit-growth rate. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 49.42 percent. The average yield is at 3.47 percent.

41 Stocks And Funds Hiked Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, additional 41 stocks and funds announced to raise dividends. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.59 percent. On the list are some big Players from the financial sector like JP Morgan Chase or W.R. Berkley. Also the tech giant Hewlett-Packard raised its dividend by 10 percent despite the operational problems. Twelve companies announced to pay a first dividend ever and ten stocks reduced its payments last week.

The good thing is that dividend growth is definitely stronger established than dividend cuts.
