In general tracking share price charts seems a very unhealthy way to approach investing. By that I mean that you can pick the best companies in the world – the ones that have produced double digit annual returns over sixty plus years – and always find periods in which the stock tanked or performed poorly vis-a-vis peers or some benchmark…

The dividend millionaires mentioned on the site usually fit a certain profile. They tend to be long-lived, frugal to the point of obsession and childless. In fact in most cases the eccentricities of these people are probably what drives them to accumulate all that wealth. Without them we probably never hear their stories.

Around ten months ago I wrote a piece on the case for a dividend cut at Anheuser Busch InBev. Well, it turns out that the company has gone and done just that. Alongside its Q3 2018 results the beer giant announced that it was slashing its dividend in half. From now on the annual pay-out will be €1.80 per share…

I had some feedback from a reader asking about Colgate stock’s current valuation. Until I pulled up the data I didn’t quite realize what a boring five years it has been for Colgate. Back in late-2013 the toothpaste giant’s share price was a shade over $65. Today it is actually around 10% lower at just under 60. Not only that but…

Shares of discount brokerage firm Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) have had a very quiet 12-months. This time last year you could buy them on the New York Stock Exchange for around $44.85 apiece. Today those shares are currently changing hands for around $43.40 each.

I last wrote about Molson Coors (NYSE: TAP) stock a little over two months ago. At the time shares of the beer giant were changing hands for around $70; down some 35% from their 2016 highs. Since that article was published the stock has tanked even further and it is now going for under $60. I maintain that you will…

J.M. Smucker (NYSE: SJM) might not get the same coverage afforded to its larger consumer defensive peers but its quality is just high. To add some weight to that assertion just consider these two facts. Firstly, the famed manufacturer of jams and peanut butter has increased its dividend in every year since the early 1960s. It has simply become a…

Occasionally I am asked why I don’t mention bonds more on the site. In fact I think the only dedicated article I’ve ever published on them was a case study of Vanguard’s Long-Term Treasury Fund. Anyway the reason behind the lack of fixed income articles here is twofold. Firstly, there’s really only so much you can say about owning bonds.…
