Weekly Dividend Investing Roundup – April 18, 2008


Weekly Roundup

With the tax deadline passed for US folks and the Canadian deadline looming for Canadians, there was a number of blog posts on this topic. However, as usual I have pulled together a list of good posts and articles that I enjoyed reading over the week and learned something from. Before I get into the Carnivals, posts and articles I want to add another blog who has participated in My Top 3 Investing Mistakes and a Challenge to Other Bloggers series. Canadian Capitalist has added his top choices for mistakes including one we have not seen before – chasing performance.

The Carnivals

The 148th Edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance was posted by Gather Little By Little and included my post on my recent purchases to meet my target asset allocation.

The Carnival of Financial Planning was hosted by The Skilled Investor and included my article on enhancing my asset allocation.

The Posts

The Dow Theory is a well known theory on how the market works. If you have not heard about it or want to learn more about it, then go over to Curious Investor and check out his post.

I liked this post on how we invest in “the market” by Blunt Money.

Correlations among assets in your allocation is important to consider. A lack of correlation is what we are really looking for. A tool identified by FiveCentNickel that Vanguard has is very interesting to see what these correlations look like.

Financial Jungle had a look at Canadian dividend fund performance.

Middle Class Millionaire had a look at Johnson and Johnson, a well know and well followed dividend stock.

A common question dividend investors ask is is it better for a company to do a share buyback or raise dividends. Thicken My Wallet had a look at that question.

Perceptions can play tricks on us, even in investing. See Me Get Rich discussed Perception and Reality in Investing.

Buy and hold is something dividend investors pay attention to. My Money Blog addressed the question, Why Buy and Hold Investing Is Simple, But Not Easy.

Get Out of debt

If you're stuck in debt and trying to get caught up, don't resort to payday loans. They almost always have high interest rates, so if you don't pay them back immediately you will just end up in even more debt. In these tough times, it's better just to learn how to be more frugal with your money.
