Home Run Number 59

Today, I'm happy to announce DivGro's 59^th Home Run!

I give any stock in my DivGro portfolio the Home Run moniker when it doubles my original investment on a total return basis.

As a dividend growth investor, I invest in high-quality dividend growth stocks with long histories of increasing annual dividend payouts. 

There's rarely a reason to sell high-quality dividend-growth stocks if the company's underlying fundamentals don't change. And if you hold such stocks long enough, they'll eventually double your original investment in total return!

Home Run Number 58

I forgot to post about DivGro's 58^th Home Run, so here goes...

When a stock in my portfolio doubles my original investment on a total return basis, I assign it Home Run status. 

As a dividend growth investor, I invest in high-quality dividend growth stocks with long histories of increasing annual dividend payouts. 

Unless the underlying fundamentals change, there's rarely a reason to sell these stocks. And if I hold them long enough, they'll eventually double my original investment in total return and become Home Run stocks!
