I am a value oriented investor looking for high quality companies with a long history of dividend growth. I believe that patient investors who build a core portfolio of dividend-paying stocks can achieve their retirement goals without taking unnecessary risks. Dividend growth profiles are the best indicators of management’s commitment to returning cash to shareholders. Dividend growth investing involves identifying quality companies with competitive advantages that provide visibility for future cash flow growth. Warren Buffet once wrote “If you don’t find a way to make money while you rest, you will work until you die.” Fundamental analysis and patience are the tools I use to build a stock portfolio that will allow me a very comfortable retirement. Join me to explore value and growth opportunities at a reasonable price and build your own portfolio of dividend, income generating stocks. I am an investor with over 20 years of market experience. I have a B.Mgt and an MBA where I enjoyed studying both corporate and personal finance.
