Dividend Growth Portfolio - Objective: Retire by 50
#1
Hi everyone,

This post will serve as introduction and investment strategy (I need all the advice I can get so don't feel shy)!

I'm quite a newbie in investments in general and dividends even worst. Up until now I was busy paying out my house (done) but now I have no debt and a sustainable source of income which I decided to invest in high quality stocks that provide dividends (my limited knowledge comes from reading a couple of books and several blogs for the last few months).

So last month I finally started, opened my first investment account (Vanguard) and invested in EVT (mostly influenced by my boss), I bought 2000 shares, this month got my first dividends (reinvested) and I was Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin.

I want to have EVT running on the side and maybe keep buying more but also invest in individual stocks, I have some cash and I'm looking for a diversified portfolio, I was looking to buy:

3M Company
Aflac Inc.
AT&T
Caterpillar
Chevron
Coca Cola
Colgate-Palmolive
ConocoPhillips Co.
Consolidated Edison, Inc.
Dow Chemical Company
Emerson Electric Co.
Exxon Mobil Corporation
General Electric
Health Care Property Investors Inc
Johnson & Johnson
Kinder Morgan
Norfolk Southern Corporation
Pepsi Co.
Procter & Gamble
Realty Income
Union Pacific Corporation
United Technologies Corporation
Verizon

Or maybe just half of these for now. I want to start of with 10-15 balanced stocks.

What do you think?
