Well, lightening hasn’t struck for me this past week, so I don’t have any new dividend investing picks to share right now. I’ve been pleased to see that one company I’ve been stocking up on, Clearway Energy (CWEN) has seen some price appreciation and I’m now in the black on that investment. I’ve continued to nibble up some shares here and there.

I was adding to my Gannett holdings, which is a small part of my portfolio. The dividend remains attractive, but I think I’ll hold off buying more until their next earnings release. There’s also a significant chance that Gannett will be involved in a merger or acquisition sometime in the not too distant future.

I ran across this article in the business section of the StarTribune (the article originated in the Philadelphia Enquirer). It offers some insights and suggestions for income oriented investors, particularly those looking for an exchange traded fund that specializes in dividend stocks. Interestingly, only one of the specific dividend stocks mentioned in the article (Microsoft) is in my portfolio.
