Look no further than America's Finest Companies® 2010
In May 2008, Larry Wright of The Wall Street Journal wrote, "Companies that consistently raise their dividends return the most to investors over the long pull." This is the core idea behind America's Finest Companies® 2010 (now in its 19th annual edition).
About the Book
This reliable e-Book by Bill Staton − a successful financial advisor and money manager for almost four decades − reveals the companies that fit this criteria of long histories of rising annual dividends and earnings, and offers essential insights into building a profitable portfolio around them.
- Offers essential insights into building a portfolio of American companies with rising annual dividends and/or earnings
- Contains new listings and delistings as well as a break down of companies by industry
-
Filled with thoughtful editorial pieces such as "Dow 30,000 by 2018", "Trends Don't Go On Forever", and "Turning Chaos Into Tremendous Opportunity"
Staton's research shows that the finest companies consistently produce the highest total returns whether in good, bad or indifferent markets. For instance, through December 2008, ninety-one U.S. companies in the 2010 directory compiled world-class dividend records by paying higher dividends per share annually for the last 30 years or more. It's a monumental achievement during these times that only the finest of the finest companies have been able to pull off.
Staton's Strategy Success
In the 2010 Edition, ten companies enjoyed the 50-year mark, or better, while 20 more companies passed the 40-year threshold. If you had purchased the same dollar amount of each of these ninety-one companies paying higher dividends per share annually for the last 30 years or more on May 1, 1999, reinvested dividends quarterly, and done no additional selling or buying, the total return of your portfolio would have been +71.22% compared to -22.19% for the S&P 500 and -5.79% for the 30 Dow industrials on April 30, 2009-10 years later. That's a record that few money managers anywhere can match!
America's Finest Companies® 2010 will help you rebuild your portfolio and keep it on sound financial footing for years to come.
