Weekly Dividend Investing Roundup – January 25, 2008


Weekly Roundup

You made it through the week – congratulations to you. In one of the craziest weeks I can remember seeing there was a lot of ups and downs. I know at work, all I heard in the elevators was the market and the insane ups and downs we saw. This is the type of market that a properly structured asset allocation is crucial to help with your own volatility and to keep emption out of your decisions. It would have been very easy to sell on Tuesday when the sky was following. This week’s roundup is obviously dominated by articles focused the wild ride. I hope you enjoy it.

On Monday I will be hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance. If you have not yet submitted you entry, please do so now!

Carnivals

The Carnival of Personal Finance included one of the posts in my series of posts that describes my investing process.

The Carnival of Everything Finance included the post, Day 3: The Dividend Key – High Dividend Stocks.

The Articles

Looking for some dividend stock ideas – this article at the Globe and Mail offers some from a well know author.

In a market like this one, Reuters suggests that the dividends from Canadian banks may offer some protection.

Quest for Four Pillars show us why retirees should have equities in their portfolio, and more than most people may think.

Even though the market is going crazy, that does not mean you should not be actively looking for investment opportunities. Dividends4Life explained his process for pre-screening stocks in a recent post.

Millionaire Mommy Next Door offered up her process for stomaching the markets wild ride. The first and in my opinion, the most important is to maintain a long-term focus.

The BagLady also provided a list of great suggestions for getting through times like this. The key – don’t be afraid.

The market is going to fluctuate. Simple. Canadian Capitalist brought some realism back into our minds with a quote from Benjamin Graham.

If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand time. Larry Swedore and JLP (AllFinancialMatters) agree with me: Don’t let emotions take control (note: ok, they are not agreeing with me per se!)

These crazy markets call for some humor – get your dose here from Punny Money. Here is a caption: “The Fed—a.k.a. Kevin Federline—announced today that it would drop its key overnight lending rate by 75 basis points, from 4.25% to some smaller number, possibly 3.14159″.

Not a financial blog or directly related to investing, but Zen Habits offered 7 Powerful Steps to Overcoming Resistance and Actually Getting Stuff Done which I found to be very helpful.

There is a constant debate between active and passive investing. Sun did an update on the Active & Passive Funds Comparison.

Warren Buffet is an investing god. Some people have made a good living off of looking at what he has invested in to copy him. Middle Class Millionaire presented the most recent report that outlines WB’s holdings.

Banks are on a lot of people’s minds these days – should investors be buying them now or waiting. Tyler weighs in on the discussion with his post about bank stocks.

Finally, a post after my own heart. Donaldson Capital wrote a quick post reminding all of us dividend investors that Dividend Investing is a Good Thing in a Bad Market.

Thanks for all the great articles everyone. Hope next week is not as volatile as this one – but my crystal ball is in the shop so I can’t tell right now.

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.
