Have you thought about where your dividends come from?
Dividends should come from free cash flow. You should look
for companies with dividends amounting to less than 50% of annual free cash
flow.

Emergency Fund for Volatile Times
Volatile economic times call for a bigger emergency fund. It
would pay to have enough cash to pay for a year to 2 years’ worth of expenses.
Easier said than done for the vast majority of people, but if you are in a
position to do it by all means do so. On another note, you should have a decent
emergency fund before you invest in stocks.

I really need this?” This best way to save is not spend at all if you can help
it.

Financial Thought of the Day March 10, 2016: Personal Income Statement
One way to keep track of whether or not you live within your
means is to do a personal income statement. Take what you make each payday or
time period such as a month and subtract what you spend. If the number is
positive, then you are spending less than you earn. If that number is negative
you are either leaning on savings or credit to prop you up. If it is negative,
you need to figure out a way to earn more and/or spend less. It’s preferable to
make more and spend less.

Financial Thought of the Day March 7, 2016: Reading the Annual Letter to Shareholders
When researching a publicly traded company, it always pays
to read the annual letter to shareholders. It can tell you a great deal about
the qualitative characteristics of a company. Of course, this isn’t the only
thing you should do in your research, but it represents one important
component.

Financial Thought of the Day March 4, 2016: Always Dig Deeper
Just because
a company beats Wall Street estimates doesn’t necessarily mean that it expanded its
fundamentals for the quarter or that it makes a great investment over
the long term. Conversely, just because a company doesn't beat Wall Street estimates
doesn’t necessarily mean that a company is seeing degrading fundamentals or that investors
stand to lose everything over the long term. Always dig deeper.

Financial Thought of the Day March 2, 2016: It Pays to Read to the Bottom….
It pays to read to the bottom of any article, document,
paper, etc. when researching stocks. Sometimes the best information occurs
somewhere in the middle of the discourse or sometimes near the bottom.

Financial Thought of the Day March 1, 2016: Think Long-term When Investing in Stocks
When investing in stocks it’s important to think about how
the business behind the stock will do 5-10 years down the road. Don’t think about what the stock price is
going to do over the next few days, weeks or even months.
