Hello,
My strategy is to invest every month, in attractively valued companies that I could allocate my limited capital to. I focus on quality, fundamentals and valuation when investing. The types of companies available at good valuations vary from month to month, quarter to quarter and year to year. By investing on a regular basis over time however, I can build a diversified portfolio of companies acquired at an attractive valuation. Diversification, risk management, valuation, quality, are essential tools to help build the portfolio on solid ground. This is strong defense. Buying quality dividend growth companies at attractive valuations, then letting them grow earnings, dividends and intrinsic values over time is strong offense.
Every investment increases forward annual dividend income. Every dividend increase further grows forward annual dividend income. Same goes for every dividend reinvestment - which I allocate in the best value for the money, rather than the company that produced the dividend.
I added to an existing position today. The company is a dividend achiever with a 21 year track record of annual dividend raises, a relatively consistent 6% - 7% annualized dividend growth, and a decent valuation to boot. Furthermore, the company does have plans for continued growth in earnings per share as well.
