Weekly Round-Up – January 21st, 2012

in Stock Trading 101

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.
