Weekly Dividend Investing Roundup – July 5, 2008

Weekly Roundup

At first I was real glad that June was over. The markets were crazy volatile. But then July came in with a bang, especially on the Canadian markets. The TSX showed a drop of over 400 points on Wednesday as investors had no idea what to do with record high oil prices. Nothing we as small dividend investors can do about it, except have faith in our system and stick to the fundamentals.

In other news, this week a group of dividend and investing bloggers kicked off a brand new blog network, titled The DIV-Net. The DIV-Net is a network of investors focused on dividend investing, value investing and a long-term buy and hold philosophy. I hope you will enjoy reading the artciles submitted bu the founding members, charter members, and associates. Much thanks to Dividends4Life for really driving the process!

High dividend stocks in this market?

Don’t gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don’t go up, don’t buy it. In the long run, dividend growth will drive the stock price and, by extension, total returns. — Will Rogers

    Excellent content – as you always provide and inspires me to come again and again.

    There is one more valuable resource I’d like to share with others readers. It’s called Secrets of Successful Traders that teaches you…

    How to turn $1000 into $ 1MILLION in 5 years or less using nothing but…

    – a brokerage account (so that you can trade),
    – $1000 in a pocket
    – And one ‘jealously guarded’ strategy that won’t even require you to spend 20 minutes a day.

    And remember, there is no chart reading or boring technical analysis involved in the entire trade process.

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.
