<p>Welcome to the March edition of my DivGro 2.0 newsletter!</p>
<p>
The edition comes in two parts, as I have many more transactions to cover than
I normally do. Part 1 covers the February market recap and an overview of my
DivGro portfolio, including February's sell transactions. Part 2 covers my
February buy transactions and presents this month's top-10 lists of Dividend
Radar stocks.
</p>
<p>
I made a strategic adjustment to my portfolio in February, which required many
more trades to execute than I normally do in a month. I increased my
investments in stocks with higher dividend growth rates and lower dividend
yields.

<div>
<div>
As a Dividend Growth Investor, I almost exclusively invest in dividend
growth stocks with dividend increase streaks of five years or more.
<a href="https://www.portfolio-insight.com/dividend-radar" target="_blank">Dividend Radar</a>
is a free, weekly auto-generated spreadsheet of such stocks.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
I believe in a healthy mix of higher-yielding (HiY) stocks and stocks with
higher dividend growth rates (HiG stocks) as measured by the 5-year
dividend compound annual growth rate, or 5-year DGR for short.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
In the past few years, my DivGro portfolio's balance of HiY and HiG
positions has shifted towards HiY stocks. To restore a healthier mix of
HiY and HiG stocks, I recently closed several HiY positions and increased
my investments in HiG stocks with lower yields. As a result, my annual
dividend income decreased significantly, but I believe my total return
prospects have vastly improved.

<p>Welcome to the February edition of my DivGro 2.0 newsletter!</p>
<p>
This edition includes a quick market recap and a review of my DivGro portfolio
as of 31 January 2024.
</p>
<p>
In January, I opened three new positions and added shares to two existing
positions. Additionally, I closed one position and reduced my holdings in four
positions. Eight DivGro stocks announced dividend increases in January. The
net result of these changes is that DivGro's projected annual dividend income
[PADI] increased by about 4.0% in January. Year over year, PADI increased by
8.8%.
</p>

DivGro's <a href="https://www.divgro-2-0.com/home-run-number-49/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">49</span><sup style="color: black;">th</sup> <i>Home Run</i></a>, and I'm back to announce my <span style="color: black;">50</span><sup style="color: black;">th</sup> <i>Home Run!</i><br><br>
<div>
If you invest in high-quality dividend growth stocks, then there's rarely a
reason to sell your stocks. And if you hold dividend growth stocks long
enough, eventually, they'll double your original investment in total returns
and become Home Run stocks!
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
Dividend growth investing is the ultimate <b><i>Get Rich Slow Scheme</i></b>. It's boring but beautiful and a perfect example of
<a href="https://grammarist.com/proverb/slow-and-steady-wins-the-race/?ref=divgro-2-0.com" target="_blank">Slow and Steady wins the Race</a>!
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
<b>Time in the Market</b> is an admirable goal. In contrast,
<b>Timing the Market</b> is a fool's errand. It's impossible to accurately
pinpoint a market high or low point, so those who attempt it run the risk of
missing periods of exceptional returns. The dividend growth investor reaps the
benefits of a strong bull market and a regular income stream even when the
bears take over!

on 1 December 2023, and today I'm back to celebrate DivGro's 49<sup>th</sup><i> Home Run!</i>
<div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
I label any stock in my DivGro portfolio a <i>Home Runs</i> stock
if it doubles my original investment in total returns.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
I've been tracking DivGro's <i>Home Runs</i><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>since 30 October 2014, when
General Dynamics (GD) became my first <i>Home Run </i>stock.
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>
I celebrate home runs in milestone articles to show how lucrative dividend
growth investing can be. Home runs are perfect examples of
<a href="https://grammarist.com/proverb/slow-and-steady-wins-the-race/?ref=divgro-2-0.com" target="_blank">Slow and Steady winning the Race</a>
and demonstrate why I prefer <b><i>Time in the Market</i></b> over
<b><i>Timing the Market</i></b>.
