There is an Investment Report article on Daily Advice talking about stocks for the long term. It mentions Jeremy Siegel’s book of Stocks for the Long Run. This was a great book. I read it a number of years ago.
I certainly agree with the premise of the book. I had a mixture of growth and dividend stocks when I was building a portfolio. When I stopped working, that was when I switched to dividend growth stocks. Unlike a lot of people I have read, I do not go for the stocks with high dividend yields. I have a mixture of low, moderate, and high dividend yields. I want dividend growth as well as dividend income.
There tends to be a correlation between dividend yield and dividend growth. The higher the dividend yield, the lower the dividend growth and vis versa. I am willing to sacrifice current yield to get a growth in dividends above the rate of inflation.
On my other blog I wrote yesterday about Kirkland Lake Gold (TSX-KL, NYSE-KL) ... learn more. Next, I will write about Hammond Power Solutions Inc (TSX-HPS.A, OTC-HMDPF) ... learn more on Wednesday, May 13, 2020 around 5 pm.
