Earn More Dividend Income Each Year From These ‘Lifetime Income Growers’
In a recent issue of StreetAuthority Daily, I told you all about my strategy for maximizing income by investing in stocks that fall in the high-yield ‘sweet spot’.
They aren’t the absolute highest yielding stocks on the market, but this special group of stocks has outperformed all others, and returned an average of 14% per year over the past 86 years.
And while these stocks are a key part of my portfolio — and consistently provide me ample dividend checks — “maximizing income” is just one aspect of my 3-part Daily Paycheck Retirement System.
#-ad_banner-#I like to call this second group of stocks “Lifetime Income Growers.”
These are the few companies that I think you could buy today and potentially hold for the rest of your life. And while you hold them, they can shower you with bigger and bigger dividends year in and year out.
These stocks have one very distinct characteristic — “Lifetime Income Growers” are generally dominant companies with growing cash flows that you can depend on to pay — and increase — their dividends year after year.
In other words, you likely won’t get a 10% yield from any of these companies right away. Instead, Lifetime Income Growers start out with smaller yields, but grow their dividends at a fast clip — sometimes even doubling them in just a few years.
So a good yield can often become an incredible yield over time.
Take a look at one of my favorite holdings, Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE: MMP).
When I bought Magellan Midstream for my Iportfolio in February 2010, it had a solid yield of 6.7%.
Not bad. But that’s not the big story here.
You see, Magellan has increased its quarterly dividend 17 times since then — up almost 78% in less than five years. That gives anyone who bought the company back when I recommended it a near 12% yield on their original investment.
And since MMP is a Lifetime Income Grower, it could continue increasing its dividend for years to come. After all, it’s already increased its dividend 49 times since it first started trading back in 2001.
If MMP sustains its current dividend growth rate, in 2016 it you could be getting a 14.9% yield on an investment made in 2010.
But a bigger dividend is just one area of growth this stock has provided.
From the time I recommended Magellan until today, I’ve enjoyed a total return over 380%, while the market has returned just 86%.
And that’s been the case with many of my other Lifetime Income Growers as well.
In fairness to my paid subscribers, I can’t show you the names of all of them. But you can see that others in my portfolio have returned 99%… 137%… even 209%, and more.
On average, this portion of my Daily Paycheck portfolio has delivered a total return over 75%.
So not only do “Lifetime Income Growers” increase their dividends — they tend to increase their share price at a fast clip.
That’s why they’re perfect if you want a rising stream of income coupled with large gains.
Now, as you might expect, Lifetime Income Growers are pretty rare. I search for them every month during my 50 hours of research, and they’re not easy to find.
I search through thousands of companies to generate a list of stocks with solid dividend growth track records. Then I dig into annual reports and SEC filings. I look at everything from historical dividend payout ratios to a company’s competition and pricing power.
After I’m done with my investigation, there are only a handful of stocks left that make the cut. In fact, only a few dozen have made it into my portfolio since 2009.
But if you buy their shares today, my experience shows that within five to six years, your income could double.
That’s why Lifetime Income Growers make up another third of my Daily Paycheck retirement portfolio. They help me — and those following alongside me — collect bigger and bigger dividend checks and enjoy larger total returns.
So now I’ve showed you how the Daily Paycheck Retirement Plan can help you both maximize your income and maximize your gains. But what about minimizing risk? That’s where my last group of securities comes into play.
Combined with my “High-Yielders” and “Lifetime Income Growers”, these three groups of stocks have helped me earn over $16,000 in dividend checks over the past year alone.
I recently held my first live lecture explaining my Daily Paycheck Retirement System to a group of investors at St. Edward’s University.
