Dividend Growth Stocks: Weekly Links: October 7, 2012

Each Sunday I highlight the Carnivals I participated in over the past week, along with any notable articles that I came across. For those readers not familiar with carnivals, it's where personal finance bloggers submit their best articles of the week with one blog serving as the host. The entries are separated into various categories such as Investing, Credit, Debt, Budgeting, Frugality, Wealth Building, Money Management, Financial Planning, Insurance, Taxes, The Economy, Real Estate, et. al. Below are the carnivals that I participated in this week, along with a link to my article:

Democrats Could Ding Dividend Stocks
Debra Borchardt interviews Jim Cramer regarding the "fiscal cliff." Jim, we keep hearing about the fiscal cliff, the fiscal cliff...it's looming. I feel like the sky is falling, the sky is falling...it's all going to happen in January. I want to ask you a couple questions...one, do you think it's really going to happen? And two, how do you position a portfolio for something like this? So do you think it's going to happen? I am not going to change my investing style based on a fiscal cliff.

A Portfolio Built To Last
I built a portfolio of companies that, while they may not win any sprints, should do well in a longer race ? one lasting, say, five, 10 or 20 years. I don?t know if Strategy Lab will be around that long, but I intend to be, and these companies ? all of which I also own in my personal portfolio ? should be, too. In fact, a decade or two from now I would expect that...

Undervalued Dividend-Paying Stocks With Momentum
In these dog days of summer, stocks aren't moving too much. Here are a few companies in the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) that are could be very good for sitting back and collecting dividends.

And as inflation concerns grow following QE3, investors need to make sure...

Dividend Stocks, High Yield Bonds, MLPs
Yields on treasury bonds are near zero and investment grade corporate bonds are yielding well below 5%. These traditional vehicles for income are in many cases yielding below the expected rate of inflation.

Don?t go for the highest dividend paying stocks. Go with stocks that...
