Dividend Growth Investing -
An Investing Strategy for All
Investing in dividend paying stocks seems simple enough, but
building a portfolio of companies that return cash to their shareholders is
significantly different than investing in growth stocks that pay low dividends
or none at all in order to reinvest that money to support their capital growth.
While the SSG has some information pertaining to dividends and utilizes
dividend contributions in determining total return, key criteria on which
dividend paying stocks are best evaluated are not included in or best used by
the SSG. Thus, it is prudent to examine what these dividend related key criteria
are, why that information is important, where to get that information and how
to successfully use that information.
The presentation will start with the reasons a portfolio of
dividend paying stocks, in particular those experiencing dividend growth over
meaningful periods, may be suitable for you based on historical performance and
theory. We shall examine the criteria specific to evaluating dividend paying
stocks and how such criteria are applied to buy and sell considerations. In
addition, the approaches used for dividend reinvestment purposes will be
discussed. Lastly, sources of information for dividend paying stocks will be
covered, including sources of articles by leading analysts in this field.

The Small Talk series focuses on selecting companies that meet the definition
of small and mid sized companies as defined by BetterInvesting.
A small or mid cap stock is presented and discussed, then evaluated objectively by a strict
set of criteria. Attendees provide input to form a consensus judgment as
we complete the SSG together. Directors from the chapter will work through the
process of finding, evaluating, and selecting small companies.
Companies presented are placed in a virtual portfolio on Manifest
Investing, with each new addition beginning with $1,000. The link to
tracking of the performance of each of the selections over time can be found
here.
