Consistent earnings growth gives a company options to grow the business, pay off debts, buy back shares, or pay dividends. Of course, I'm primarily interested in dividends, so I look for consistent dividend growth in addition to consistent earnings growth.
I consider dividend growth stocks to be stocks with increasing dividend payouts in each of the past five years. Dividend Radar tracks such stocks every week and publishes a comprehensive spreadsheet, downloadable for free, every Friday.
This is my third article published at TheStreet.com. I'm hoping to continue posting at least one article per week at TheStreet.com.
An unfortunate consequence of the changing business model at Seeking Alpha is that many of my readers no longer can access my articles published exclusively on Seeking Alpha. There's a limited number of free articles you can read before being blocked. A premium Seeking Alpha subscription costs $19.99 per month when billed annually.
One of the fringe benefits of being a Seeking Alpha contributor is that I get the premium subscription for free. So, if you've ever thought about writing for Seeking Alpha, then take action and become a contributor. One article per month is all it takes to get the premium subscription!
Enough about Seeking Alpha. To read this week's article (without needing a subscription!) please
read this article at TheStreet.com.
Soon sections of my blog will only be available to subscribers, so I encourage you to sign up now!
I simply don't understand why you publish you articles on another website instead of your own blog... To earn some additional $? Or as you write: to get a $19.99 subscription for free on seeking alpha?! You earn (allegedly) a lot of money with dividends and options income and you are still so stingy and greedy?
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? You're calling ME stingy and greedy?
