Welcome to Buy Stocks Online, your source for learning how to invest in the stock market and build wealth. Over the last couple of weeks, I have spent a lot of time researching how to find value in the stock market. While I have been focusing on buying only the top dividend paying stocks available, I had not really taken into account the price I was paying for them.
I am now building additional criteria into my stock selection process to include fair market values one should pay to invest. There is no reason to overpay to own a blue chip company, which is why I am looking to invest in undervalued companies that pay healthy dividends.
That’s enough about myself, here are some posts I suggest you check out about investing.
Buy Stocks Online – Weekly Roundup
Every couple of weeks I highlight 5 articles I found interesting on other sites. Some articles are new, while others have been around for a while but still offer good insight into the world of investing. Here are my picks for this week.
Prairie Eco-Thrifter gives us an explanation on the biggest myths about the stock market. I use to feel that it was impossible for a small time investor to make any kind of money in the market. I am now out to prove that myth wrong!
Dividend Growth Stocks provides a dividend stock analysis on AFLAC Incorporated (AFL). I currently don’t own any shares of AFL but I feel it is very undervalued right after calculating the company’s Graham Number.
Derek at Life and My Finances discusses earning passive income with dividends. I personally believe that dividends are the best source of passive income that one can create, which is why I have really focused a lot of energy and money to building my portfolio.
Corey at 20′s Finances talks about what your first investment should be. As I am approaching 40 years of age, I wish I would have spent more time learning how to invest the right way. My suggestion for a first investment would be dividend stocks.
Sticking with a similar theme, The College Investor highlights the best investment options for recent graduates. Again, I would suggest building a portfolio of top dividend paying stocks as a recent graduate.
