THE IMPORTANCE OF BUDGETING

Welcome back to another dividend stock watch list article! The stock market is still down almost 19% year-to-date, but the last full week of October there definitely was a big push!

Despite the recent uptick, the bear market is still growling in 2022. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 Index are down more than 20% each, while the Dow 30 is doing somewhat better. Consequently, many high-quality stocks’ stock prices have also declined, along with valuations. One such stock is Verizon Communications (VZ), trading near its 52-week low and the lowest price in a decade. But is the stock a value trap, or is Verizon a good dividend stock?

American Water Works (AWK) is a good stock to buy. Investors can take advantage of the lower price of this utility stock and get a stable dividend every quarter. AWK stock forecast is also positive.

As you know by now I make a stock purchase every single month no matter what is going on in the world and despite the doom and gloom headlines. Perhaps I am naive or more of an optimist that we will get through these dark financial times somehow. Either way, I have been busy buying up some stock this month and was happy to put some fresh and recycled capital to work to try and recoup some of my lost dividend income courtesy of the numerous cuts bestowed upon my portfolio in recent years.

A new trading month is about the begin and boy do we have a seemingly endless crop of stocks that are becoming fair valued to undervalued. The reality of the day is that we’ll continue to see stock prices continue to come down as interest rates rise. No reason to believe interest rates will stop climbing anytime soon.

There are two certainties in life… death and taxes. Most people plan for taxes each year but few plan their funeral. It’s a tough topic to discuss but your family will be relieved that you had it planned. Losing a loved one is difficult and when you’re emotionally fragile and grief-stricken, planning a funeral is even harder. Funeral homes know this. They’re for-profit companies, and their industry is booming thanks to the world’s growing (and grieving) population.

As I described in my post here about my passive income strategy, I will be focusing on 3 key areas 1. Dividends 2. Options 3. Mortgage The first 2 parts all involve the stock market and my main criteria is to focus on quality companies as much as possible. During the last 2 years I have been stuck with some real humdingers, either by chasing yield or chasing premium.
