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%. 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!

Which dividend stock is better: HD or LOW? Both home improvement giants are wonderful dividend growth stocks with long histories of paying and growing their dividends. But which one was a better investment? That's what I dig into in this episode. We take a look at the dividend growth story of each company and compare them side by side. I then backtested a one time lump sum investment and a dollar cost averaging strategy to see which stock paid more dividend income. At the end I also make some forward looking assumptions to see which dividend stock may be a better investment going forward.

Dividend aristocrats are fairing better than the broad market this year and I believe they are some of the best dividend stocks to invest in for the long term. Dividend aristocrats are some of the safest and most reliable dividend stocks on the market. To become an aristocrat a company must have a streak of growing dividend income for at least 25 consecutive years. Anyone looking to start a dividend portfolio should be familiar with the dividend aristocrats and the benefits they can offer. I came up with 3 unique simple strategies to select the best dividend aristocrats each month. I believe that over a longer period of time each of these simple methods can deliver alpha over NOBL the dividend aristocrat ETF. Investing in individual stocks can carry more risk than investing in a broad index and you need to determine the best course of action for you. Join me to find out how my simple strategies work and which dividend aristocrats are the best in September 2022!

Dividend aristocrats are arguably the best and safest dividend stocks on the market. Each dividend aristocrat has a streak of at least 25 years of dividend growth, with many having streaks that are far longer. The easiest way to invest in the dividend aristocrats is through the ProShares ETF ticker symbol NOBL. The Fund isn't performing so great this year but is doing twice as good as the S&P 500. Long term NOBL has rewarded patient dividend investors with an 11.14% annualized rate of return. Today I want to take a look at the best and worst performing dividend aristocrats this year. I'll also talk about the potentially undervalued ones and the ones poised for strong growth in the future. Hope you enjoy!

Are you a dividend investor? Is one of your goals to replace your income with dividends in the future so that you can retire early or reach financial independence. I think most dividend investors aim for some version of this goal and it can be quite challenging trying to figure out the best or fastest way to get there. I was recently thinking about my dividend investing journey and how long it will take me to replace my income with dividends. So I created a spreadsheet to help me analyze how changing different factors in my investing strategy effects my long term goals. I think you'll be surprised to see the most important factor I found and perhaps my example can help you figure out the timeline for your journey as well!
