35 Companies To Pay More Cash For Its Owners

The markets drive into panic while volatility is rising. Did you buy some stocks during the small sell-off?

I did but only one micro position. I still believe that the markets are too expensive and wait.

No, the world will not go down! That's something I can promise you whatever happens. If the markets falls he will one day recover because of the growing world population who wants to satisfy their desires.

The national monetary banks are printing money and they won't keep cash expensive. Everybody should be liquid and the economic growth and employment figures are more important than inflation, that's the key statement of the FED.

In general, I love it when stock prices fall because companies become cheaper and one day I can buy a high quality company for a solid price. Dividends and share buybacks are also two shareholder friendly activities about which I care.

I like to see that the company not only pays dividends to satisfy their shareholder, they should grow their sales, income and dividends as well.

All of this actions is only sustainable if the corporate structure grows, if the firm employs more people, sells more units at the same margin. 

I told you and my friends: Only a growing company is a good company and those will give your portfolio a raise when you haven't overpaid them.

During the past week, a few companies raised their dividends and announced a new stock buyback program. The biggest dividend growers are Goldman Sachs, Enterprise Products Partners as well as Texas Instruments.

On the share buyback side, 14 companies announced a new or additional buyback plan. Brown-Forman, GAP and J.M. Smucker are the biggest stocks on the list.

How to Retire At The Age Of 40 With Dividends - 10 Helpful Investing Tips From "All About Interest"

I'm passionate about dividends and share my thoughts about stocks on my blog but there are also many other bloggers with good ideas.

Most of them share their personal journey to financial freedom on the internet and educate people how they grow their passive income with dividend stocks. Their plan: Retire at the age of 40.

I love those stories and the hard work they do. I'm also a guy who worked hard for his success. That's the reason why I want to support them and like to distribute their thoughts to a wider audience.

I share fresh articles from them on my Twitter and Facebook account. If you like you can join the conversation there. It’s always great.

Today I'd like to interview a great Blogger who has a nice dividend investing space on the internet, a site calling All About Interest.

Tom: AA Interest, you are a dividend investor and publishing your journey to a financial independence at the age of 40 on the web. On your blog, you show people your asset structure with a net worth of $725,000. What are your main growth drivers for your financial freedom goal?

AA Interest: My main growth driver is my savings each month that I plow back into investments that offer passive income streams. These passive income streams are real estate (rental properties) and dividend growth stocks. 

This passive income is then added to my savings the following month and put right back to work for me, causing a compounding, or snowball effect. 

Tom: Out there are so many people who have the dream to retiree with a high passive dividend income stream. Can you give them three important tips to follow in order to achieve this aim?

AA Interest: My advice is simple:

1.) Start investing as soon as possible

2.) Save as much as you can each month

3.) Research your investments

These are the three biggest factors that will produce your desired retirement amounts: time, money and rate of return.  You need to know the time you have available for compounding to work its magic.  You need to know the amount of money you have available to invest.  You also need to do your research so you have a good return on your investments.

 

Tom: Back to stock market financials. What are the best places to be when you think about putting money into stocks now; can you tell us something about your recent trades or your current ideas.

AA Interest: Whether the market is in a bull or bear cycle, I believe there are always companies that offer a fair value or better. Currently, I have a large portion of my portfolio in the energy sector.  

I'm invested in big names like Chevron, Conoco Phillips, British Petroleum and Kinder Morgan to name a few. From a p/e standpoint, a lot of these energy companies offer some of the best values in the market.

They also happen to pay a generous and growing dividend, usually in excess of 3.5%. 

I'm also a fan of companies that generate large amounts of free cash flow and have little or no debt. A company like this that I've recently been investing in is Visa.  

I also look for short-term, negative catalysts that can suppress a stock's price. One such company I've been investing in lately is Target.

Shares are trailing the S&P significantly since the credit card breach and lackluster Canadian results.

However, Target is a dividend champion, having increased their dividend consecutively for over 47 years! I'm a fan of the company long-term and believe shares currently offer a good value. 

Tom: Final Question: You’ve published a long Watchlist on your Blog. What are your main criteria to consider a buy? Do you look at P/E multiples, high yields or other ratios?

AA Interest: I actually laid out a Business Plan so that I could monitor my stock purchasing like running an actual business. As outlined in this plan, my main criteria to buy are:

1.) At least 90% of all stocks chosen should be in the CCC list, that is the Champions, Contenders and Challengers list maintained by David Fish.  This list can be found on my Resources tab.

2.) Small-Cap or larger ( >250 million market cap).

3.) 10-year YOC should be 10% or higher (typically using 5-year CAGR).

4.) Minimum yield of 2.5% (exception can be made as long as target total portfolio yield holds).

5.) Dividend growth over last 5 years (5-year CAGR) must be over 4%.

6.) Large moat or competitive advantages.

7.) Sound fundamentals.

These are the basic rules that I follow. Some of these rules leave flexibility and some room for being subjective.  

For instance, Visa doesn't meet rule number 4. However, since my portfolio average yield is well above 3.5%, I made an exception.

In a nutshell, I'm looking for companies that pay and raise dividends at a rate higher than inflation, have a large barrier to entry and are fundamentally sound. This is why I consider myself a dividend growth investor.
