19 Jason Fieber Stock Holdings I Would Love To Buy Now!

I'm a great fan of Jason Fiber (Dividend Mantra) and his investment philosophy. For me, he is the real Warren Buffett. I also study his investments he makes.

He is a very income focused stock investor with focus on high-quality and growing stock dividends. In addition, he looks for stocks with price appreciation potential. I love to see in which stocks he put his money. Sometimes, we have the same idea at the same time.

As of June 1, 2016, Jason is invested in 98 companies valued at $295,550.27. Please note that daily and monthly market gyrations will obviously skew the figures below and the weights have been rounded up/down accordingly, so the total may not add up to a perfect 100%.

Attached you will find his latest portfolio overview. In order to keep the information on a simple way, I only published his stock holdings weight and current yield of the stock.

16 Canadian Dividend Aristocrats For Global Diversification

Dividend aristocrats, as defined by Standard and Poor’s, are stocks that meet certain size and liquidity standards that “have followed a policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least five years.”

That's a much easier rule to fulfill compared the US Dividend Aristocrats Index for which you need a 25 year consecutive dividend hike.

Today I like to share a sample of 16 S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats with you, a premier group of Canadian stocks that have increased their cash dividends for at least five consecutive years.

Below is the list for 2016 sorted by dividend yield. If you like to receive more dividend yield tables of the best long-term dividend raiser, you should subscribe to my blog news by following the link, it's completely free and independent. Thank you for reading.

12 Best REITs With Solid Fundamentals To Finance Profitable Growth

Owning such things as office buildings and self-storage facilities, real estate investment trusts rake in rents and must pay at least 90 percent of their taxable income to shareholders. 

As long as they can keep raising rents and dividend payments, the stocks should fare well. 

Indeed, REITs’ underlying properties should post a 4.5 percent average gain in operating income this year, fueling dividend growth in the “high single-digit” range, says investment firm Lazard, and yields in the range of 2 percent to 6 percent.

Attached you will find a selection of Reits with Return on Assests over 5 percent and solid debt ratios. 

This is in my view the best way to discover stocks with potential for profitable growth in the future.
