Dividend Investing with Longacres Finance

Most average people stink at investing and tend to underperform the market, in turn missing out on additional dollars in their pockets. Successful investors follow very simple strategies of investing in high quality companies, buying them at a fair price and holding onto their positions for a very long time. What if we could replicate this investing approach with a set of rules. Rules based investing can make a lot of sense as it removes emotions and bias from the decision process. Let me show you what this looks like with the latest rules based model portfolio I am designing. I hope you enjoy!

A perfect winning streak like this is not easy to achieve and these companies deserve your attention.

If you're looking to replace your income with passive dividend, I believe SCHD is one of the best dividend growth funds to help you do so. It won't replace your income the fastest, it can't really compete with some of the covered call ETFs that lure investors with very high dividend yields. But SCHD has two major benefits that most other dividend funds do not. Join me to find out what they are! I hope you enjoy the content!

Something magical happens to your investment every 7 years. For SCHD it has happened a little faster, about every 6 years or so. This isn't necessarily because SCHD has been a better than average fund to invest in, but more so because the past decade has been a great time to be invested in the market in general. I believe SCHD is one of the best dividend growth funds on the market. It's a low cost fund with an attractive dividend yield and above average dividend growth history. I also think it will continue to deliver strong returns to patient shareholders that have a long-term outlook. I hope you enjoy the content!

Every dividend investor loves monthly dividend stocks. What's not to love about receiving your dividend income more frequently. But not all monthly dividend stocks and funds are equal. Monthly dividend payers have gained much popularity recently and the newest offerings are promising ever higher dividend yields.

Today I want to tell you about my 3 favorite monthly paying REITs that have historically crushed the S&P 500.

There are many popular valuation models for dividend stocks like the dividend discount model or the discounted cash flow model. But they all require you to gather data and think about the how fast a given company can grow in the future. I prefer to use Dividend Yield Theory as my main valuation technique for dividend stocks. It is significantly easier to put together, doesn't require you to come up with any growth rates and can be done in as little as a few seconds. If you can run your valuation model faster then you will have more time to spend reviewing the underlying business. In this episode I talk about dividend yield theory and I put it through the ringer to see not only whether it works but also how efficient its application would have been historically. I think you'll enjoy this analysis!

Each month I run a screening process to find the top 10 best high yield dividend stocks for the given month. These high yield dividend stocks are selected based on the best combination of business quality and valuation with a focus on future returns. My minimum dividend yield threshold for this watchlist is 2.75% but often the average dividend yield presented is around 4.82%. Additionally the selected stocks offer above average dividend growth for the yield they currently pay. I use this monthly watchlist to identify potential stocks to add to my portfolio. And I share this process here with you so that you can see how it works and perhaps improve your strategy as a result. Enjoy!

You've probably heard that most investors and professional fund managers alike cannot beat the S&P 500 in the long run. This is true, but did you ever wonder why its so hard to beat the S&P? When we look back at historical returns all of the paths that would have outperformed the S&P look obvious. The problem is that everything looks clear in hindsight, but when you're acting in the present things tend to get a bit more complicated. Today I want to share with you one of the factors that makes it very difficult to beat the S&P in the long run. I hope you enjoy!

There's a new craze in the passive dividend investing arena and its super sizing your cash flow by using covered call options.
