My personal dividend growth portfolio is growing at a very healthy pace of 25.26%. Granted the overall stock market has been rather hot recently but it is nice to be able to keep up pace with the broad market while adopting a dividend growth strategy. The best part is that this is a passive strategy that does not require me to make a whole lot of decisions myself. I hope you enjoy the content!

Most average people stink at investing and tend to underperform the market, in turn missing out on additional dollars in their pockets. Successful investors follow very simple strategies of investing in high quality companies, buying them at a fair price and holding onto their positions for a very long time. What if we could replicate this investing approach with a set of rules. Rules based investing can make a lot of sense as it removes emotions and bias from the decision process. Let me show y...

A perfect winning streak like this is not easy to achieve and these companies deserve your attention.

If you're looking to replace your income with passive dividend, I believe SCHD is one of the best dividend growth funds to help you do so. It won't replace your income the fastest, it can't really compete with some of the covered call ETFs that lure investors with very high dividend yields. But SCHD has two major benefits that most other dividend funds do not. Join me to find out what they are! I hope you enjoy the content!

Something magical happens to your investment every 7 years. For SCHD it has happened a little faster, about every 6 years or so. This isn't necessarily because SCHD has been a better than average fund to invest in, but more so because the past decade has been a great time to be invested in the market in general. I believe SCHD is one of the best dividend growth funds on the market. It's a low cost fund with an attractive dividend yield and above average dividend growth history. I also think it w...
