Dividend Stocks Research, today were
reviewing our recently published article…

4. Dividend Stocks A Billionaire Loves

5. When it comes to investing in dividend
stocks, it’s tough to ignore a billionaire.
Especially a billionaire who actually talked
his kidnappers into setting him free.

6. That’s what Eddie Lampert did back in
2003.
It’s not easy to find Eddie’s office in
Greenwich, Connecticut. There’s no sign,
and visitors run into the kind of security
you’d expect for a guy who’s worth a
bundle... north of 3 billion.

7. So I can’t exactly stroll into Eddie’s office
for a friendly chat. But I have been able to
check out some of the dividend stocks he
owns.
Fascinating stuff...

8. Starting with a couple of hundred
thousand shares of IBM $IBM.
Even though IBM has been pounded, it
still pays a 2.7% dividend, and the
dividend has been growing for the past 15
years.

9. Eddie bought his IBM at an average share
price of $169.98. You can buy it for less
right now, so if you’ve ever wanted to get
a better deal on something than a
billionaire, here’s your chance.

10. But here’s something interesting to know
about Eddie, besides the fact he has
homes in Florida, Aspen, and Greenwich.

11. (Security is so tight at his $38 million
spread in Indian Creek Island, Florida that
his private security team circles the island
in boats.)

12. Eddie Lampert also has huge positions in
stocks that DON’T pay dividends.
That’s because he’s made a massive bet
on Sears $SHLD.

13. Along with running his hedge fund, ESL
Investments, he’s the CEO of Sears, and
owns a boatload of Sears stock.
So why does a guy like Eddie Lampert
own a dividend stock like IBM?

14. Probably for the same reasons Warren
Buffet does.
IBM is a great example of the two things
you should look for when you’re checking
out dividend stocks to buy.

15. Dividend StocksMust Give You These 2
Things

16. The first thing you need is a track record
of growing dividends.
Dividends that are growing are better for
your portfolio than the highest dividend
paying stocks.

17. That’s because a high yield is risky.
Dividend growth is safer. Over the long
haul, it’s how you’ll make more money.
Just ask Eddie Lampert and Warren
Buffet.

18. And you can see why when you check out
my article on Dividend Investing
Breakthroughs.

19. Focus on dividend growth when you’re
looking at dividend stocks to buy. But
don’t demand perfection.
It’s not a perfect world. Even the most
solid blue chip dividend paying stocks
stumble.

20. IBM ran into trouble awhile back. It cut
distributions by 80% in 1993.
After dividend growth, the second thing
you want to look for is a common sense
business.

21. Now we all have our own thoughts on
what common sense means.
When it comes to investing in dividend
paying stocks, I’m talking about a real
business that has real customers and a
real future.

22. The latest fad restaurant concept with
zero franchisees isn’t a real business.
Neither is a real estate developer sitting
on lots of highly leveraged land but
nobody to buy the houses he wants to
build on it.

23. Dividend Stocks Need A Yesterday And A
Tomorrow

24. The yesterday is the track record of
paying growing dividends.
The tomorrow is the solid prospect of
more customers, more opportunities, and
more revenue.

25. IBM clearly delivers on the yesterday. It
doesn’t just give you a track record of
paying growing dividends... it gives you a
well-deserved reputation of one of the
world’s best run companies.

26. The tomorrow... well, that’s another
question, because it sold off its chip
business and needs its hardware and
cloud services to light things up.

27. Check out this chart, and you’ll see the
ugly hit that IBM took in the fall of 2014.
That’s when IBM told investors that it was
paying another company $1.5 billion to
take its chip business off its hands...

29. Not what you want to see...
Unless you’re a patient, long-term
dividend investor.

30. And you can’t help but think that
billionaire investors like Eddie Lampert
and Warren Buffet must feel good about
IBM’s future.

31. If Buffet and Lampert figured IBM’s glory
days were in the past, they would have
bailed out.

32. So here’s what to do.
When you’re sizing up dividend stocks,
don’t just keep your eyes glued to the rear
view mirror.

33. As best you can, get a feel for the future
of the business your company is in, and
try to understand how the company will
perform.
Eddie Lampert must believe in the future
of IBM.

34. And he clearly believes in the future of
Sears, a legendary retailer where sales
have been on a downhill slide for years.

35. Even if you and I could slip past all the
security and make it into Eddie Lampert’s
office, we wouldn’t see a crystal ball on
his desk.
And unless we got out in a hurry, here’s
what we probably would see.
