Many of these companies are very solid with nice dividend payments while some might be borderline interesting. Make sure that you do as much research as you possibly can before you purchase any stocks named here. Remember that you are investing at your own risk and it is worth your time.

There are many other stocks going ex-dividend in January of 2013 but these are the ones that I felt were important to the type of investments I usually make. Make sure to check in again as we will have a new list each and every month!

Apple inc. stock pays a dividend and has a low P/E ratio is it worth investing in?

Apple as a company is a monster. They are an angry aggressive monster who is looking to take over. They are making so much money that they can buy other "big companies" and it wouldn't even matter to them. They are currently at $523.xx per share but yet people are scared to buy them. Yes I understand it's not as interesting to buy 10 shares of apple instead of getting 1000 shares of something else but it's probably a better investment. They are currently paying about a 2.02% dividend yield and while that is not too much it wasn't long ago that they didn't even pay a dividend.



 When most people think of apple they are thinking of the Ipods, Ipads and some of their other products but Apple is so much more than that. They have a long history of huge highs and low lows. They were a giant and then they weren't a giant, now once again they are a giant. They currently have a 11.85 P/E Ratio putting them right in that category where you have to take notice.

You will find that many people are afraid that they can't continue to make money like they have been but they have put together a structure of money making. People can't just upgrade their products they have to buy new products. Companies like Samsung can't just copy their products because they will sue them and win. When you are buying Apple you are behind already, you missed the biggest push but that doesn't mean that you are wasting your time or money.

They are still one of the better investment options out there. Apples last 2 dividend payments have been $2.65 per share while some would say they should do far better than this I'd rather have them putting the money back into the company. I know that sounds weird coming from a dividend investor but I also like capital gains. I think the more money they have for research and development the more money they will bring in and the better products they will bring to market. Disclaimer: Always invest with caution and under your own advisement

Top 10 dividend stock of 2013

Some of the best dividend paying stocks are some of the biggest names out there. When I think about stocks   that I am sure I want to invest in I think of GE General Electric, WMT Walmart, KO Coca Cola, XOM Exxon Mobil, AAPL Apple Inc, MCD Mcdonald's, MSFT Microsoft.

These are some of the strongest earning dividend stocks around. These are stocks that let me sleep at night while bring me a healthy return. I don't own all of them but I would if I could. Investing is about doing what makes you feel comfortable. It's about taking your chances and believing in yourself because you are confident in your research. When it comes to getting real returns on your investments your best bet is to go with a proven winner. Sure you can buy REIT's all day long and you will get more bang for your buck in the short term but that can be really risky especially in this current market with all the current economics we deal with. 

When I think about investing in General Electric I think about a company that has proven time and time again that it will continue to raise it's dividend and pay it's share holders. When I think about Apple I think about a company that has just started paying dividends but the future looks very bright. Some would say that perhaps they have peaked and what else can they do? Well I say I believe in a winner and a company that is an innovative as they are. 

Investing in Mcdonald's is almost a no brainer to me. They will always be making money and if their stock price goes down a little you can always just dollar cost average your way into a good position again. I really like them with their current dividend yield at 3.52% it just feels like a solid investment to me. Some people have concerns about their price increases but I know that the public is going to pay those increases because they are hooked on the product, yes I believe food is addicting. 

Looking into Walmart I see a company that makes more than a few good decisions and a company that is in it to continue to make as much money as possible their current dividend yield is 2.35% which is not the greatest out there but when you are making a portfolio it sure looks nice to have a healthy chunk of Walmart stock in there. When I am investing I am looking to have a portfolio filled with solid companies with solid earnings and continued growth. 

Intel is a company I buy from time to time and it never lets me down. Although many would have you believe that the company is falling to pieces and is too old to adapt to the current consumers needs I find myself believing in Intel to continue to find a way to dominate. They have so much money for research and development that very few other companies can compete. They currently have a 4.45% dividend yield which is beautiful and I guess we will all find out over the upcoming years how they adapt to the new world of computing.

What stocks should I buy now?

Here in this market where we are all looking to find the right stocks to make money off of from capital gains to dividend payments it's becoming more and more confusing about which companies we can trust. Looking at the troubles with companies like HPQ Hewlett Packard which spent so much money acquiring autonomy only to later reveal there were accounting issues at the time of purchase. Who can we trust with our money at this point?

It's hard to really know because it's becoming more and more difficult to trust the number set in front of you and make an informed decision. I mean if your information is not correct than research really means nothing. Then we have giants in the industry such as INTC Intel corp. which is clearly fading off from where it has been in the past. They just might not be a giant among men any longer. Some of us still have faith in them to find a way to succeed but so many people would rather just jump off ship.

I personally find myself trading off of faith more now than ever and that's because the numbers can't tell me everything anymore. The forward p/e ratios I see no longer feel correct anymore. Estimates have let me down too many times, technical analysis is becoming more and more a fools game in my opinion. I should stop there and pull back my comment about technical analysis but that is just my personal opinion on the stocks that I have been watching. I have watched as solid companies earned each quarter and hardly moved. I have watched great companies losing stock price with great earnings.

I love the stock market, I love it so much I will probably always invest but sometimes it gets so confusing and nothing makes sense. They say I'm a gambler but I'm not the only one. I still believe you can pull great dividend payments out of this market if you find the right companies. I'm starting to get away from clearance shopping. That means I'm shying away from stocks that appear to be a great deal because no matter how well they earn they just sometimes don't want to go up.

Disclosure: I'm long Intel and HPQ because I believe in them but there probably are better opportunities out there so invest with extreme caution.

What stocks to buy now

I have been thinking to myself for a while now about how the stock market is my friend when I need to make some money. When I look at my portfolio I think of all the time I have spent researching and doing my due diligence. When I invest for dividends I am always optimistic about the companies I pick. I really like Intel stock even though so many people are scared of it and the price of it has gone down. When I invest I am usually investing in companies that I believe in and I believe will have a lasting business with continued revenue for the long run.

Intel stock at 20.80 Nov. 11 2012

Verizon (VZ) has a solid dividend yield but still the P/E Ratio scares me

Verizon Stock does look good in terms of dividend payments and dividend yield but where Verizon lacks is EPS and P/E Ratio which is alarmingly high in comparison with other investment opportunities. I would still pick Verizon over AT&T if given a choice of the two companies but they both have a great dividend yield so it would be a close call. I do not own any Verizon and do not plan on buying any within the next 72 hours.

What stocks to buy now when thinking about dividends

Thinking about what stocks to buy now is something that all of us do. I was recently looking into MCD or Mcdonalds stock I noticed that it had over a 3% dividend yield so I began thinking about buying it. The problem I have is the current P/E ratio is a bit higher than some of the other options I was looking into. One of my all time favorite food stops has been Wendy's but looking into The Wendy's Company(NASDAQ:WEN) I noticed that they just aren't earning enough money to make me comfortable with investing at this time. Their dividend situation looks like this Div/yield 0.02/1.75 while their EPS is 0.03 and I just can't feel comfortable buying into that situation at this time.

Now if I was a very rich man with money to gamble perhaps I would invest with them but when I am looking at what stocks to buy now I want good performers in this time. I want companies that are performing well right now. One of the companies I have had my eye on lately is Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) which is currently trading at 64.67 with a P/E ratio 14.80 with an EPS of 4.37 plus it has a fair dividend at Div/yield 0.36/2.23 which is decent but not remarkable.

Some of the best stocks that you can buy are companies that you actually buy from on a regular basis. They are companies that you truly believe will be around for the long run. I found that when I thought about buying Walmart stock which is currently trading at 74.50 with a dividend yield above 2% but still I don't think I am ready to buy them at that price. Mostly because of the small dividend and the fact that I think I may be able to buy it a little bit cheaper.

When it comes to buying stocks that we can hold for a while we want to get the highest dividend yield while being safe about it. I like to buy General Electric Company(NYSE:GE) while it's currently above 22 dollars per share it still have over a 3% dividend yield and is totally worth buying. I mean can you think of a company with a longer history of making good money? It seems like a good dollar cost averaging play to me and that's why I have bought it a number of times in the past.

What stocks to buy now? has me thinking about Alliant Energy Corporation (NYSE:LNT) which is paying over 4% dividend yield and looking like a company that can consistently produce solid earnings. I enjoy companies that have a history of paying their dividends and that is usually what I go by when looking into companies that I may invest in. Investing is a crucial step in financial independence and if you prefer working for yourself over someone else this is a good way to move in that direction.

So if you are wondering what stocks to buy just make sure that you do as much research as possible. Look into big companies that you know and believe in such as Target or Walmart. Those are the types of companies that will be sticking around for a while and will continue to produce big money and stability.

Dividend Stocks

When buying dividend stocks you need to make sure that the stocks are nice and consistent. You should always check out the history of the companies. Make sure that they have been around for a while and are something that you can depend on continuing to produce. Just looking at their dividend yield alone is a very bad way to approach income investing.

Make sure that the company is generating enough money to continue growing and continue to pay that dividend. Dividend stocks are very desirable and most investors look to them when the are investing. When you are looking at a dividend stock some big companies come to mind such as General Electric, Intel and Walmart. There are so many options, but, I like to buy companies that have growth potential as well as a dividend. This help you out in both methods of investing.

I like to re-invest my dividends do the next time I receive them they are bigger and better. It is all about making money in the stock market and doing your homework is a great way to buy the right stocks. Try to stay away from "Hot stock tips" you get from your neighbor. You need well researched stocks that are strong enough to keep your money with you and not with someone else.

Sometimes I buy exchange traded funds just because they have a nice group of interesting stocks and you can buy them just like an individual company. I am not a home run hitter I buy stocks that will probably only make me between 3% and 5% but once in a while I will invest in something like AGNC which has been a great REIT and helped make many people money.

I buy very few stocks that don't payout a dividend but some of the ones I have invested in over the past year are Ford and 3d printing corp. or symbol DDD. While Ford has not done well I do not regret buying it and 3d Printing corp has done excellent. I should say that Ford has a small dividend payout that they have recently paid but when I started buying it they weren't paying.

Recently Apple started paying out a dividend. Although it is a small dividend in terms of dividend yield it is still nice to be getting a dividend payment from such a great company. If you want to know how to use a stock screener I will post a video on the bottom of this and show you how easy it is to use. When looking into dividend stocks you need to find the one that fits your investing style best.

Dividend stocks are a great investment if you buy them and hold onto them. Making the right choices can really help out your situation in the long term and while investing can be risky you can reduce your risk with the right choices. Remember! Anything stated on this website is a personal opinion and any stocks mentioned  are just stocks I personally like. We are not here to tell you what to buy or what not to buy just sharing out opinions.
