The first year for the 4 Factor Dividend Growth Portfolio is on the books and what a year it has been. The portfolio outperformed the S&P 500, generating 0.75% of alpha over the benchmark. We are off to the races for year number 2 and thus far the portfolio is off to a great start with a huge gain in November. Through December 4th my portfolio is a little more than 4% ahead of the S&P and up over 25% since inception. Enjoy the update!

Not all dividend aristocrats are doing great this year, but how can you pick the winners from the losers. Let me tell you how I do it and how this strategy has worked out over the last almost 3 years.

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. I'm more of an old school investor, while I seek a healthy dividend yield I also like to see capital appreciation from my dividend stocks. Today I want to tell you about my 3 favorite monthly paying REITs that have historically crushed the S&P 500. And I want to show you how you can value any REIT with the help of my freshly minted valuation tool specifically designed just for REITs. I hope you enjoy!

Today I want to provide an update on how the portfolio performed in its first year and what changes were made for year number 2. Spoiler, the portfolio is off to a pretty good start for year two. Enjoy!

Do you like investing in dividend growth stocks that have a history of crushing market returns all the while paying you handsome and growing dividends. The best type of dividend growth stock is a boring dividend growth stock. It's not flashy, its not on headline news but these quiet companies crush the market behind the scenes while flashy investors ride the volatility train pushed by mainstream media. Today I want to talk about a boring dividend stock that I personally own and one I have added to recently and may continue to do so in the near future if the valuation continues to make sense. Enjoy!
