• Hi, My name is Aaron and Im with Dividend Stocks
  Research, today were reviewing our recently
  published article

• Dividend Investing Is Like NFL Football

6

• I dont know if it hits you. But this time of the
  year, theres something akin to a spiritual
  reawakening. Footballs back. Lets just get the
  hook for Deflategate. Enough already.

7

• And please, no dividend deflation. Its tough
  enough making money on the market without
  dividend cuts.
• Before 4 oclock on the afternoon on September
  1st, NFL teams had to reduce their rosters to 75
  active players max.

8

• Ive never owned 75 stocks. Way too many to keep
  a watchful eye on.
• But this time of the year, I kind of like the
  idea of reducing the roster, and making sure the
  dividend stocks in my portfolio are winners.

9

• Well before December, when the institutional
  traders are dressing up their portfolios to show
  off year-end results, I like to have my
  housekeeping all taken care of. Whats the best
  way to reduce your own roster of dividend stocks?

10

• Here are a couple of classic, time-honored Wall
  Street pieces of advice, tips for dividend
  investing to keep in mind.

11

• Dividend Investing Tip 1

12

• Let your winners run.
• The door definitely swings both ways. A lot of
  investors swear by this rule, and a lot of
  investors consider it a recipe for disaster.

13

• Well, greed does have a way of getting us in
  trouble. So heres my take. It all depends on the
  overall performance of your portfolio, your need
  for income, and what needs to happen with the
  allocation of your assets.

14

• If youve had a winner thats been on a run, say
  a stock like JP Morgan Chase JPM, you should
  have a good reason why you want it sell it. If
  you sell JP Morgan Chase, what do you do with the
  proceeds?

15

• Is there a stock waiting in the wings that youre
  enthusiastic about buying? Its just like the NFL
  coach managing his roster. Whos going to play
  the position?

16

• If you think about each one of your dividend
  stocks playing a position, and performing a
  specific function in your portfolio, youll be
  making a smart move.

17

• For instance, if you like whats happening with
  the housing recovery right now and you want one
  of the best dividend stocks in this sector, do
  you have this covered?

18

• If you think European markets have been beaten
  down to fire sale levels, do you have one of the
  best dividend stocks for this opportunity?

19

• NFL coaches need balance. Championships arent
  won when you have too many offensive linemen and
  not enough wide receivers.

20

• So make sure your portfolio has good balance when
  it comes to your dividend stocks.
• And heres something else

21

• Dividend Investing Tip 2

22

• Dont worry about leaving some money on the
  table. You dont want to hold out for every last
  dollar.
• You cant possibly know when to sell at a precise
  market high.

23

• What you can do is make the trend your friend,
  keep an eye on trading volume, and sell when you
  believe enthusiasm is approaching its peak.
• Dont get all wound up about selling too soon.

24

• Its not like youve turned over the ball on your
  own one yard line. You know what? On the first
  trading day of 2015, you could have bought
  Starbucks SBUX for 40.72. The last time I
  checked, the other day, it was at 54.85.

25

• Its not exactly a dividend powerhouse. The
  yield is 1.17. But the dividend has been
  growing for four years and the dividend payout
  ratio is a modest 40.5.

26

• For all its maturity, Starbucks performs like a
  growth stock, with solid capital appreciation.
• Look at what Starbucks has done over the past
  year

28

• If you own Starbucks, should you sell it?
• Is this a winner you want to let run?
• Well, maybe you take some profits, if you have a
  another stock you believe is ready to go on a
  similar run.

29

• Maybe your portfolio needs some rebalancing.
  Perhaps your asset allocation is a bit heavy on
  stocks and light on bonds because of the capital
  appreciation of your stocks. Or maybe you dont
  like the lofty market valuations.

30

• Whatever the case, have a good reason why you
  want to take some money off the table.
• And heres something else to keep in mind.

31

• If everybodys in love with Starbucks, and based
  on what we see from the analysts reports, they
  pretty much are, maybe you take this advice from
  legendary investor Sir John
• Templeton...

32

• The time of maximum pessimism is the best time
  to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the
  best time to sell.

33

• Dividend Investing Tip 3

34

• Stocks arent bought and sold facts, but
  expectations.
• Sure, a fact such as an earnings report or a
  change in the dividend growth will trigger buying
  and selling.

35

• But its always what we believe the fact will
  bring. Pound down seven Old-Fashioneds and the
  results are fairly certain. With your dividend
  stocks its a similar kind of cause and effect,
  only the effect isnt a given.

36

• Its an expectation.
• When earnings growth slows down, we expect the
  stock price to slide. When a dividend is cut,
  especially following years of reliable growth, we
  expect the stock price to take a hit.

37

• Dont confuse facts with expectations. Dont
  assume a guaranteed cause and effect. The market
  has a way of throwing us curves.

38

• And when it comes to evaluating your dividend
  stocks, whether to hold or sell, try to make the
  best connections possible with the information at
  hand between facts and expectations.

39

• Dividend Investing Tip 4

40

• More often than you might expect, its best to do
  nothing.
• Heres a comment from one of the more notorious
  Wall Street speculators of the early twentieth
  century, Jesse Livermore.

41

• After spending many years on Wall Street, and
  after making and losing millions of dollars. I
  want to tell you this It never was my thinking
  that made the big money for me. It always was my
  sitting.

42

• Riding out storms and socking away dividend
  checks isnt a bad way to go. Better yet is
  reinvesting your dividends.
• Curious about this?
• Heres how dividend reinvestment plans really
  work.

43

• Ready To Cut Your Dividend Stocks Roster?

44

• Use these 4 dividend investing tips. Theyll
  help you evaluate your dividend stocks from a
  fresh perspective.

45

• After all the market volatility weve had, taking
  a deep breath and taking a measured look at your
  stocks is probably a good move.

46

• Is it hard? Sure selling a stock thats done a
  nice job for you isnt easy. But just like a
  hard- nosed NFL coach, you need to set emotions
  aside.
• (Easier said than done.)

47

• Boil it all down to performance.
• And remember, were projecting future
  performance.
• And whether youre looking at an offensive
  lineman or a dividend stock, thats always tough.
