Dedication

This is for those of you that are sick and tired of listening to financial

professionals telling you something you don't really want to hear.

It is never too late.

For there is a way to reach your money goals.

INTRODUCTION

If you are not getting at least 25% returns on your money every year.... then someone is not telling you something. Maybe you just don't care about your hard earned money... Well, hopefully what brought you to this book is an enlightened sense that it's time to take charge of your own money.

I like to get right to the point and will try to keep this a short and informative read.

First, A little about myself:

I never had much money growing up, I didn't even know my family was poor until I reached middle school. The age where kids speak their minds and not really aware of the consequences of doing so.

It was right around thanksgiving time when some charity workers stopped by our house with a box full of donated food. It never dawned on me til then that we were one of the poorest families in our small town. I didn't know quite how to process this act of kindness from a total stranger at that very moment. As it was I that had answered the door when he came. My first reaction was that he was selling something and I had no money to buy anything. I came to the uncomfortable realization that “we” had no money and that his act of kindness was actually charity. This situation gave me a feeling like I never experienced before in my life. To this day I still remember that moment and that uncomfortable feeling. I will never forget it. As you can imagine, money played a strong role in my decisions in what ever I did from that moment on. I knew there had to be a way. I vowed not to end up in that position when I had my own family. Well enough about my background… Let's get down to why we are here. The dividend kings list includes companies which have managed to raise dividends for at least 50 years in a row. This is a huge accomplishment, since it shows a business model that has endured the destructive forces of several recessions, oil shocks, wars, market crashes and changes in technology. I would strongly encourage every dividend investor to study the success of each of those companies, in an effort to learn about the characteristics that made each company able to afford rewarding shareholders with a raise for over half a century.

No one has more interest

in your money

than you!

Professional Money Managers

I cannot think of a better way to start this book than coming out and telling you something you already know and probably are not ready to either hear or admit to. These so called professional money managers, stock brokers and especially bankers do not have your best interest in mind when it comes to your money. I think I'll say that one more time to let it sink in good. Stock brokers, money mangers, bankers and fund managers do not have your best interest in mind when it comes to you investing your money.

They sell you what their managers tell them to sell you. Whether it is right for you or not. They make it sound good and you should be glad they are doing it for you. Commissions and a weekly pay check is what they are looking for. If you are to lazy to do it yourself then I say give them a portion of the profits and offset that by an escrow account on hold in case of future losses. That may motivate them to care more about your money.

That idea would definitely thin out the crowd and get rid of non-performers. Too many times I have read that a fund is not doing so well and many investors are losing their hard earned money. However, the managers of those funds are still doing well.

They get paid every week regardless of what their performance is, driving their fancy cars on their way to some country club or to spend the weekend on their yacht. For far too long the small investor has suffered at the hands of those so called trained professionals handling their money. Well it is time to take control of your own money and stick to some simple techniques that have been time tested to still do better than the pros.

The best place to start in my humble opinion would be with Americas elite dividend stocks...

The Dividend Kings. This is a very small group of US stocks that have for the last fifty years, increased their dividend payouts to their investors every year. Let me say that again. 50 years of consistently increasing dividend payment to investors in order to make it on to this exclusive list of companies.

Yes the list is very small but think about it for a second or two. Each and every one of these companies have been profitable and they are willing to share their profits with their investors. Every year they give more money out. The only way for a company to make the dividend kings list is to have managed to raise dividends for at least 50 years in a row. This is a huge accomplishment, since it shows a business model that has endured the destructive forces of several recessions, oil shocks, a few wars, a bunch of market crashes and huge changes in technology. Every serious dividend investor should study the success of each of these companies. Learn what characteristics makes these companies able to afford writing shareholders dividend checks with a raise every year... for over half a century.

Let's take a look a these companies and I'm going to share a few of my simple trading strategies that I use just for the Dividend Kings.

Colgate-Palmolive Company, together with its subsidiaries manufactures and markets consumer products worldwide. The company operates in two segments: Personal and Home Care and Pet Nutrition.

The Personal and Home Care division offers oral care products, including toothpastes, toothbrushes, and mouthwashes, as well as dental floss and pharmaceutical products for dentists and other oral health professionals. Personal care products like soaps, shampoo, shower gels, deodorants and other products. Home care products, such as dishwashing liquids, laundry and dishwashing detergents, household cleaners and fabric conditioners. Its principal trademarks include Colgate, Palmolive, Speed Stick, Lady Speed Stick, Softsoap, Irish Spring, and plenty more.

The Pet Nutrition division offers products for everyday needs with natural ingredients. The company markets its pet products for dogs and cats through pet suppy retailers and veterinarians all over the world.

This chart going back to 1977 is showing a very slow growth up til 97 where it seems to double in price in a five year period. For the next five – seven years the stock moved sideways. In 2010 the stock moved up 50% to settle in around the $60 area.

The one year chart looks almost sideways for the most part with movement from $55 to $66. There is a target price set for $67.15 which is a little higher than what it is right now but not really giving it alot of upward movement in the next 12 months.

CL pays their dividends in the forth week of January, April, July and October. They score a very respectable 90.24% on our calculator for the dividend capturing strategy. With a ten year average move during dividend season of 2.25%, it is easy to see how to make money on this gem.

For those that understand options and option chains you can see that CL has weekly options as well as monthly options. With the stocks last traded price of $66.24 shows the current weekly option has a delta of 41. When the options price is lower than the option delta, you know there is going to be some profits on that one. Even though the weekly options only have 6 days left to it and the current month has 20 days left. The delta is great on both of these options.

Procter and Gamble have been a household name when I was growing up and for my generation they have been in the limelight for as long as I can remember. From 1970 through 1990 they didn't seem to do much. From 1990 to the present they have had a wonderful run as seen in the chart below, running from $10 right up to $80 and still going strong.

The Procter & Gamble Company, together with its subsidiaries manufactures and sells branded consumer packaged goods through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, high-frequency stores, and e-commerce in approximately 180 countries worldwide. Needless to say Proctor and Gamble is a giant when it comes to personal consumer products for the home. The company operates through 5 segments: Beauty, Grooming, Health Care, Fabric and Home Care, Baby and Family Care.

The Beauty segment offers antiperspirants, deodorants, cosmetics, personal cleansing, skin and hair care, and hair colors. Head & Shoulders, Olay, Pantene, and Wella brand names are a few trade marked names.

The Grooming segment provides blades and razors, pre- and post-shave products, and electronic hair removal devices under well known names such as Braun, Fusion, Gillette, Mach3, and Prestobarba.

The Health Care segment offers feminine care, incontinence, toothbrush, toothpaste, and other oral care products, as well as vitamin and mineral supplements. Some of their most popular product brand names are; Crest, Oral-B, Vicks, Iams and many more.

The Fabric and Home Care segment offers brand names such as Dawn, Febreeze, Gain, Downy, Duracell and Tide.

The Baby Care and Family Care segment offers baby wipes, diapers, pants, paper towels, tissues, and toilet papers. Bounty, Charmin, and Pampers are a few brand names.

For a company that has been in business since 1837, their stock price you would think would be higher. With stock splits over the years the current market price is shown. From 1970-1990 the price stayed under $10. With the invention of the computer in the 1990's you can see the stock price has risen quite a bit. Right up to the dot com bubble in the late 90's then settling into a steady increasing stock price. It seems to be resting near the all time high of $80 but let's see what the future brings for this company.

The one year trading range looks to be between $75 and $85 with some very nice movement all year long. The one year target price of $87.61 looks good for those that want to hold for future appreciation. Trading for the dividend checks we see that PG scores 92.5% but the stock barely moves with only 1.02% for the 10 year average during dividend season. PG pays out their dividends in the third week of January, April, July and October.

Proctor and Gamble has plenty of weekly options available which gives you more opportunities for higher monthly profits. The delta on the weeklys is high, which is always a good thing. Any movement to the upside on the stock is going to be magnified if you buy the options.

Northwest Natural Gas stores and distributes natural gas primarily in Oregon, Washington, and California. The company operates in two segments, Local Gas Distribution and Gas Storage. The Local Gas Distribution segment distributes natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Oregon and southwest Washington. It engages in building and maintaining pipeline distribution systems from producers and marketers to their clients. As of December 31, 2012, North West had approximately 686,000 utility customers. The Gas Storage segment offers underground natural gas storage services to interstate and intrastate customers. It holds interests in approximately 12,000 net acres of underground natural gas storage in Oregon; and 5,000 net acres of underground natural gas storage in California. This segment of the company serves primarily natural gas production or distribution and electric generation. Northwest Natural Gas Company was founded in 1859 and is headquartered in Portland, Oregon.

North West is the highest annual yield of all the Dividend Kings, over 4% and growing every year. They have also paid out increasing Dividends for 58 years. The stock price has shown some very nice consistency with their price growth over the last few decades. But, there seems to be a leveling out situation over the last five years.

North West Gas has been trading for the last year between $40 and $46. A target price of $44 doesn't leave much room for advancement but keep in mind this dividend stock has a tendency to stay in a channel and that is exactly what NWN has been doing for the last 5 years. This seems to be very low trading volume for a company that has been paying such a great yield for over 50 years. NWN scores the highest of all the Kings, 95% on the dividend capturing strategy and a 10 year average movement of 3.6% during the dividend season. NWN pays out dividends in the last week of January, April, July and October.

NWN may be one of the highest paying kings when it comes to dividends, but they don't offer weekly options. The monthly options here have a $5 spread between them. That usually means there is not much of a market for them.

The Diebold corporation provides integrated self-service security systems and services primarily to the financial, commercial, government, and retail markets worldwide. It offers self-service solutions, including automated teller machines, check-cashing machines, and bulk cash recyclers. The company has outsourced and managed services, such as remote monitoring, troubleshooting for self-service customers, transaction processing, currency management, maintenance services, and online communication services.

In addition Diebold offers security solutions, which include physical security and facility products, such as pneumatic tube systems for drive-up lanes, vaults, safes, depositories, bullet-resistive items, and electronic undercounter equipment security products. Diebold products such as digital surveillance, access control systems, biometric technologies, alarms and remote monitoring round off their parts inventory. Furthermore, the company provides strategic analysis and planning of new systems, systems integration, architectural engineering, consulting, and project management services, as well as design and service for electronic security products. Diebold sells its products through its sales personnel, manufacturers representatives, and distributors.

Looking at the chart above, you can see that the stock has been moving sideways for years. In 94 the stock started moving upward into a larger channel. $20-$50 is a much larger range than some people might be comfortable with. We all need to keep in mind “Why” we are investing in these types of companies in the first place. Hitting our goal close to 90% of the time, with a company of this quality. Ever increasing its dividend payments out to investors is the consolation prize. We are mainly looking for the “Run up” or the dividend itself. We are not looking to buy and hold. But as a worse case scenario.... 3% yield is still better than anything out there being offered by so called professionals.

As you can plainly see Diebold seems to have a $10 movement from $27-$37 over the past year. The target of $35.50 may be a little lower than it is right now but only confirms the “channeling” hypothesis. Keeping the stock price in the range of $27-$37... a sideways move. This channeling falls right into our Dividend Capturing strategy. Buy before the Ex-date, hold til after date of record … then resell for small profit. Over the last 10 years DBD has been hitting the target 87% of the time. Collecting $1.15 for every share you have if you hold it for the whole year.

DBD pays its dividends the third week in February, August and the forth week in May, November. There is the 2% move during the dividend season that may help grab some profits. The annual yield is still better than most banking institutions.

DBD is another one of the kings that does not have weekly options. The $5 spread between the strike prices would include this stock to the not very popular with the traders group. There doesn't seem to be that much demand for this as far as options are concerned.

Johnson & Johnson, together with its subsidiaries sells of variety of products in the health care and personal care field worldwide. The company operates in three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Devices and Diagnostics. The Consumer segment offers products used in the baby care, skin care, oral care, wound care, and womens health. LUBRIDERM, NEUTROGENA, LISTERINE, BAND-AID, NEOSPORIN, STAYFREE are just some of their world recognized brand names. This segment markets its products to the general public, as well as to retail outlets and distributors.

The Pharmaceutical segment provides various products in the areas of anti-infective, antipsychotic, cardiovascular and many more areas. This segment distributes its products directly to retailers, wholesalers, and health care professionals for prescription use. The Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment offers various products too and distributes its products to wholesalers, hospitals, and retailers used principally in the professional fields by physicians, hospitals, and clinics.

JNJ is a wonderful stock for those that want to grab some dividend checks and have their payments increase every year. There has been some fluctuation over the past 20 years that most likely came from the internet and computers. That just means that this stock is now available to almost anyone that has access to the web.

JNJ has had a very tight trading range for today but over the last year it has seen highs of $95 and lows of $75. If this is a channel, it is a big one... A 20% swing in price over the last year means lots of trading opportunities. There is a one year target of $100.90 which is a 10% move from where it is right now. Large volume make getting to your money easy and quick and 2.9% yield is always nice if you want to hold for a few years.

JNJ pay their dividends in the third week of February, May, August and November. Dividend season show a move of 2.79% that sure could make an option play very profitable if you pick the right one at the right time. As for dividend capturing, 87.5% is very respectable for a company that has a household name like Johnson n Johnson.

JNJ has the household name and that kind of recognition has its perks when it comes to investors. There are plenty of trading oportunities with many weekly options to choose from. JNJ also has a nice delta for the the money options currently trading.

The Coca-Cola Company, a beverage company, manufactures, markets, and sells nonalcoholic beverages worldwide. Energy drinks, and carbonated waters and flavored waters. The Coca-Cola company licenses its technologies to suppliers and third parties. They sell products primarily under the Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Light, Coca-Cola Zero, Sprite, Fanta, Minute Maid, Powerade, Dasani, and Schweppes brand names. The company offers its beverage products through a network of company-owned or controlled bottling and distribution operators, as well as through independently bottling partners, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers.

The Coca-Cola company's stock has basically done the same as all the other dividend kings when it comes to the time frame between 1990 and 2000. It would appear that they reacted the same with the invention on the internet and computer. Online trading has made all the kings charts look the same. No movement up to 1985 then a slow steady incline up to 1995. The stocks skyrocket then settle into a nice sideways trends. There has been a 50% swing in stock price in that time frame.

The Coca-Cola company has nice movement during the year, the low of $36.83 and a high of $43. The years chart shows a $7 move between the two. There is the one year target price of $43.92, that means there is plenty of room for profits when the time comes to trade this. The 1.75% movement on a $37 stock during dividend season is not much to write home about. However...the 90% score on the dividend capturing strategy makes it a great play to catch some checks. KO pays their dividends during the second week in March, June, September, and December. It is always a good plan to verify the exact dates of the dividend's EX-date beofore you buy anything.

KO also shares that characteristic of being a household name and along with that comes demand for its stocks. The options offered with most household named stocks is plenty of trading options and options on their stocks. You can see they have a high delta and $1 increments for their options.... that means lots of trading and lots of liquidity.

Emerson Electric Co. designs and supplies products and technology, and delivers engineering services and solutions to the commercial markets worldwide. They also manage oil and gas reservoirs that power electric generating plants. The company’s Industrial Automation segment provides integrated manufacturing solutions for products, including motors, drives, power generating alternators, power transmission solutions, fluid controls, and materials joining equipment. Its Network Power segment designs, manufactures, installs, and maintains products that offer electric power conditioning, power reliability, environmental control for telecommunications networks, data centers, and other critical applications, as well as comprehensive data center infrastructure management solutions. The company’s Climate Technologies segment provides products and services for various areas of the climate control industry, such as residential heating and cooling, commercial air conditioning, commercial and industrial refrigeration, and marine controls. Its Commercial and Residential Solutions segment offers a range of professional and do-it-yourself tools, fixed and mobile storage products, and appliances and components. The company was formerly known as The Emerson Electric Manufacturing Company and changed its name to Emerson Electric Co. in the year 2000.

Emerson Electric shows the same movements as all the other dividend kings, flat right up to the mid 1990's. Where the internet and computers took hold of trading. Lots of excitement caused the stock to rise all the way up to 06-07. In 08 this stock along with all others dropped in price, close to 50% in value. It took a couple years for people to figure out that Emerson was a great company with consistent earnings and dividend payments. Now EMR is back on track to where it should have been before the correction in 08.

All stocks show some fluctuations through out the year and EMR is no exception. Moving from $53-$70 over the last year has made plenty of trading opportunities. The one years target of $72.30 leaves room for some price growth for those that want to buy and hold this one. The dividend capturing strategy when used on EMR scores a respectable 95% and the dividend seasonal move of 2.35% could be an opening for some good option plays.

EMR pays out their dividend's in the third week (usually the 11th or 12th) of February, May, August and November. With high scores and a decent yield this is another good play.

EMR may not have weekly options or $1 option increments but they do have the spread of $2.50 on their monthly options under $75 which means they are a little more desirable when it comes to trading options as compared to some of the lesser desirable kings. The delta is not as high as you would like but still not too bad for a dividend king.

3M Company operates as a diversified technology company worldwide. Its Industrial segment offers tapes and bonded abrasives. Acoustic systems, automotive components, paint finishing and detailing products. The company’s Safety and Graphics segment provides personal protection products and security products. Its Electronics and Energy segment offers optical films for electronic displays. 3M has telecommunications and electrical industries such as touch screens and touch monitors. 3M renewable energy components and infrastructure protection products add to their product lines also. The company’s Health Care segment provides medical and surgical supplies as well as skin health and infection prevention products. Its Consumer segment offers sponges, scouring pads, indexing systems, construction and home improvement products. The 3M list of products goes on and on. The company serves automotive, electronics and energy products to their wide diverse markets. 3M Company sells its products through wholesalers, retailers and distributors as well as directly to users.

3M has shown a very nice movement in price since the opening of electronic trading over the internet in the early 90's. There is the same movements that all the other kings have displayed... nice movement and plenty of trading opportunities over the last 2 decades. 3M was not imune to the 08 correction and the after math 3M's stock has moved up into new highs.

3M has shown a 40% fluctuation over the last year. Moving from $102-$140 may only be a $40 move but that equals to the same amount as some of the other dividend kings purchase price. The chart shows some nice upward moves with the predictable profit taking after every move. 3M shows an awesome score of 97.5% in the dividend capturing strategies performance. With divivend seasonal move of 2.08% that would makes 4 option trading opportunities throughout the year. If you are not into options, that's fine. There is still a great opportunity here with 3M.

3M has its dividend's EX-date the forth week (19th) of February, May, August and November. Remember to double check the EX-date before trading any dividend strategies.

MMM has the house hold name going for as did a few other dividend kings making themselves very desirable to own. Plenty of weekly options and a delta close to 50% of the ask price just goes to show you there is plenty of demand for this particular optionable stock.

The Vectren Corporation provides energy delivery services to residential, commercial, industrial customers in Indiana and west central Ohio. It offers natural gas distribution and transportation along with electric distribution services. Vectren owns and operates coal-fired and gas-fired electric generating facilities with a generating capacity of 1,298 megawatts. The company's electric transmission system consists of 1,014 circuit miles of high kilovolt lines, 37 electrical substations and a distribution system comprising 4,301 pole miles of lower voltage overhead lines. Vectren also has 2,098 miles of underground distribution cable. 96 distribution substations with 54,000 distribution transformers, Vectren has plenty of electric power behind them. Let's just say they own a heep load of electrical distribution lines and wiring.

Along with electric line Vectren provides gas marketing and gas portfolio of energy management services. Vectren also mines and sells coal. As of December 31, 2012 it supplied natural gas services to approximately 997,400 customers; and electric services to approximately 142,100 customers. Vectren Corporation was founded in 1912 and is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana.

The Vectren Corporation has a much steadier growth than the rest of the kings. VVC still has the same patterns when it comes to time frame in comparrison to the other kings... movement in the 90's dropped in 08 and all time high now adays. The chart doesn't show any irratic movenents and the volume seems to be steady as well.

Vectren has shown some very big movements on the chart above, but don't let the big movements fool you. $31.83 -$38.54 is only a 17% fluctuation, extremely small compared to some of the 50% movers as some of the other dividend kings. The one year target of $39 is not very appealing for those that are looking for capital growth. VVC however does score a respectable 87.5% on the dividend capturing strategy with a 3.55% yield for those that want to hold on for that. Ths dividend's seasonal move is only 1%. Not making it a very good option play with a small move and a low stock price, you might want to just collect some dividend checks and think about holding on to this one for to long. Collect the checks and move on.

VVC pays their dividend the second week (11th or 12th) in February, May, August and November.

VVC may be in my opinion as one of the top stocks to have in a long term portfolio, only because they have offer electrical and gas service to over one million customers. Gas and electric is one of the necesities in life in that area. The $2.5 spread in the options below $25 is just normal pricing, jumping up to the $5 spread over $25 does not show many buyers rushing to this company. How ever the 65 delta on the at the money option does show promise for those looking for a great trading opportunity.

Parker-Hannifin Corporation manufactures motion and control technologies and systems for various mobile, industrial, and aerospace markets worldwide. Its Industrial segment provides pneumatic and electromechanical components. The companies Aerospace segment offers flight control, hydraulic, fuel, fluid conveyance, and engine systems. Commercial and military airframe and engine programs are also in their bag of services. It also provides electronics thermal management heat rejection systems for radar, ISAR, and power electronics. This segment markets its products directly to original equipment manufacturers and end users in the commercial and military aerospace markets. Parker-Hannifin has its Climate & Industrial Controls segment offering systems and components primarily for use in refrigeration, and air conditioning industry. The company markets its products through direct-sales employees, independent distributors, and sales representatives. Parker-Hannifin Corporation was founded in 1918 and is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.

PH is another dividend king that has been effected by the movements in the mid 90's. Steady growth up to the crash in 08, then proceding right into a new high just above $120. PH is one of the stocks that lost 50% of shar price in 08 but also rebounded just after like all the rest of the knigs did.

The one year chart has shown a large move from $84.50 to $129.77, which is a 38% of its current price. Large moves are an opportunity for profits if you know where they are going to be. There is the one year price target of $136.56, almost $18 dollars projection from current asking price. Avery nice projection and an opportunity to make some good strategy plays.

PH has a seasonal move of 2.5% giving plenty space for some great option plays as well as collecting some dividend checks. The dividend capturing strategy comes in at 92.5%, very strong for PH.

PH may not have weekly options, but $5 pread on a stock over $100 shows that there isplenty of interest in option buyers for Parker-Hannifin. The delta is very low for this stock, that could mean there is plenty of options volume and the market maker is not to happy about sharing profits.

Genuine Parts Company distributes automotive replacement parts and industrial replacement parts. They also produuce office products, and electrical/electronic materials. It distributes automotive replacement parts for just about all vehicles and heavy duty equipment. They distribute through 62 NAPA automotive parts distribution centers and 1,100 NAPA AUTO PARTS stores. The company also distributes industrial replacement parts and related supplies through 511 branches, 15 distribution centers, and 42 service centers. In addition, it distributes computer supplies, imaging products, office furniture, office machines, general office products and many more related products through 41 distribution centers. Further, the company distributes wire and cables, insulating and conductive materials and custom fabricated parts to original equipment manufacturers in various industrial assembly markets. Genuine Parts Company was founded in 1928 and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.

GPC is one of those stocks that have no glammer to them but have plenty reasons to buy. They make replacement parts for a mobile world, there is always going to be a demand for their products. The move from $10 to over $80 in 24 years. The chart shows two very distinct market corrections in 01 and 08. The stock always seems to come out on top though.

The one year chart shows some big moves, are they real reasons to panic or just some profit taking. The one year target price pf $91.38 is a nice surprize for those wanting to buy and hold. Even though it is not a glamerous stock. The move from $69 - $90 is only $21 close to 25% of current stock price.

GPC offers its dividend's around the 5th or 6th of the months Marh, June, September and December. The dividend's seasonal movement is not very much, only 1.1%. The dividend capture strategy on this stock works 95% of the time, which may be the best straategy for this considering what the numbers are telling us.

GPC only seems to have monthly options with very low deltas for the current month. For a company that has a good product and great demand you would think differently.

American States Water Company, together with its subsidiaries, provides water, electric, and contracted services in the United States. It operates in three segments: Water, Electric, and Contracted Services. The company engages in the purchase, production, and distribution of water in 75 communities in 10 counties in the State of California. AWR provides electric service to the City of Big Bear Lake and surrounding areas in San Bernardino County, California. It also provides water and wastewater services, including the operation, maintenance, renewal, and replacement of the water and wastewater systems at various military installations. American States Water Company was founded in 1929 and is headquartered in San Dimas, California.

AWR seems to be the only dividend king thatwas not effected by any of the market corrections. The steady growth through the investion of the internet and the online trading situation didn't seem to affect this company at all. Their growth may not be huge but slow and steady may be one way to get there.

AWR has only a 25% move over the last one year. By looking at the chart you might think it was more. There is some nice movement but al in all... it looks like it just went sideways. The one years' target price is not to appealing, not even beating the high it had in August. The average trading volume is only 117 thousand, that is probably the lowest of all the dividend kings. Serving water and electricity to people, water is a neccesity in life and electricity is vital in everyday living. It is surprizing that this company is not higher than this.

AWR bearly moves during the dividend season, a daily average move of 1.86%... this companies stock you wouold think would move more during that time when it comes to pay some dividend checks. 90% of the time the dividend capturing strategy has worked in the past, 90% is a good score for this company, it would have been nicer if the stock price would move more than 96%. Not really worth an option trade, and one year target... not that glamerous either.

AWR doesn't offer weekly optionable trades, the spread between the bid and the ask is higher than usual. The higher spread usually indicates not much volume. In other words... not many people interested in trading this companies stocks. Even the safest option strategy... the covered call is only going to return 1% using at the money calls. Best bet for this stock is to collect the dividend and move on to the next company.

NDSN had the classic sideways channeling for about 18 years, this stock was effectted by the 08 slump. After the 08 slump it seemed to move forward with no objections anywhere other than profit taking in 2012. NDSN is the newest of all the dividend kings. Only .93% yield on the dividend if you hold it all year. It doesn't seem to be a very profitable to hold it all year for not even 1% return.

NDSN has a small movement of only 19% between the high of $75.88 and the low of $61.88 over the last year with low trading volume. Over the last year the classis sideways channeling makes for many trading opportunities when it ccomes to channeling trading. The current trading price of $70.88 leaves a good short term opportunity to make some money with the one year target of $74.86.

NDSN may have a low yield when it comes to the dividend for those investors that want to hold for the whole year. The 3.8% movement during dividend season comes to almost a $3 move, that is an awesome move for an option trade that could be very profitable. Dividend capturing strategy scores only 87.5% and double dividend scoring 95%.

NDSN dividend's EX-date are all over the map. First quarter's ex-date is close to last week of February. Second ex-dividend date is last week of May, sometimes first week of June. Third ex-dividend date is last week of August. Forth ex-dividend date is in the middle of December.

NDSN may be the newest divided king and have the highest dividend seasonal move of 3.8%, the seasonal move of 3.8% is making for a great trading opportunity for some profitable option trades.

The company also offers its products through online sites, such as , Lowes.ca, and . Lowe’s Companies, Inc. was founded in 1946 and is based in Mooresville, North Carolina.

LOW's stock chart looks almost non exhistent pre-1994. After the internet and home computer invation to the online investing in the mid 90's was the beginning of HD's climb. The real estate boom brought life and new highs to this stock. After the real estate bust and credit crunch in 2008-2013 led to a sideways channeling for a few years before recovery and all time highs.

LOW's has a 32% spread between the yearly high of $52.08 and the yearly low $36.46. There are plenty of trading of trading oportunities for trading thoughout the year. There is a current yearly target of $52.95 which is a little less than 4% movement from current stock price.

LOW's dividend may not be very high and the yield is only 1.53% for those wanting to hold all year. What you might like best is that the EX-dividend's seasonal move is 3.14%, that could lead to some great option plays. Dividend capturing strategy scored a respectable 90% and double dividends strategy scored 85%.

LOW's EX-dates in the third weeks of January, April, July and October.

LOW does offer weekly options but only one week at a time and at fifty cent intervals. Close strike prices means there is quite a bit of demand, the spread is not huge but then again not as close as you might want for higher liquidity. The weekly ATM strike has a higher delta than the ask price which is great if you are expecting a move in the next few days. Unfortunately LOW had its EX-date last week.

Dover Corporation and its subsidiaries manufacture and sell a range of equipment and components and support services. The company operates in four segments: Energy, Engineered Systems, Printing & Identification, and Communication Technologies. The Energy segment provides engineered solutions for the extraction and handling of oil and gas in the production and drilling markets. The Engineered Systems segment manufactures products and systems serving the refrigeration and food equipment products. The Printing & Identification segment provides integrated printing, coding, and dispensing solutions for the fast moving consumer goods and industrial markets. The Communication Technologies segment designs and manufactures products and components in the consumer electronics, aerospace/defense markets. DOV has wired and wireless network base station communications. The company sells its products directly and through a network of distributors worldwide. Dover Corporation was founded in 1947 and is headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois.

DOV has the typical dividend kings chart, going sideways for decades leading up to the inter trading craze. Hitting the peak of $50 and channeling for a decade before bottoming out in 08, shooting for new highs most recently with volume staying steady.

DOV showing a 30% spread between the high and low of the year, plenty of trading opportunities happening regularly. The tatget price of $98.94 looks great for buy n holders' but traders will be happy to see the dividend capturing strategy scoring a 92.5% and double dividends grabbing 80%.

DOV may have a low dividend yield and a very low dividend seasonal move of only .8%. It would seem that dividend capturing is the way to go here unless you want to buy and hold til DOV hits $98 like some are predicting.

DOV doesn't offer weekly options, the monthly options are spaced out in $5 increments. Meaning there is not much interest by buyers. The stock price has a tighter margin between the bid and the ask prices, where the spread on the options are much larger. Another sign that there is not much interest.

Cincinnati Financial Corporation is engaged in the property casualty insurance business in the United States. It operates in five segments: Commercial, Property, Casualty, Personal Life Insurance and Investments.

The Life Insurance segment provides life insurance products to employees through their employers. The Investments segment invests in fixed-maturity investments and equity investments. The company also offers commercial leasing and financing services. Cincinnati Financial Corporation was founded in 1950 and is headquartered in Fairfield, Ohio.

CINF may not be showing much data before 1990 but it looks pretty much like all the other dividend kings... not much activity before computers and the internet. Channeling for a decade before the 08 crash, four years in rehab then shoot up for some new highs.

CINF only has a 21% spread between the high and low of the year, average volume doesn't even hit seven hundred thousand. The one years target price of $48.80 is a little disappointing when it's lower than the 52 week high of $53.74.

Good thing that there is plenty of trading opportunities with the nice movement it continues to show.

CINF has a great dividend yield of 3.51% and the dividend seasonal move being only 1.76% isnot to terrible. 90% on the dividend capturing strategy is not to bad, good in fact if you settle for 1.76% four times a year. That would equal 7.06% yield trading, double that if you are trading on margin.

CINF doesn't offer weekly options and the monthly options it does offer have a rather undesirable spread to them. The spread on the stock is much tighter at only $.02. The options are also in $5 increment which show lack of interest from investors.

Lancaster Colony Corporation manufactures and markets specialty food products for the retail and food service markets in the United States. The company markets its products under its brand names or sells to an array of private-label customers. It offers dips, salad dressings, and croutons under the Marzetti name; frozen breads and croutons under the New York Brand name; and homemade rolls under the Sister Schubert's name. The company provides foodservice products in various convenient single-serve pouch as well as bulk packaging for restaurant use. Lancaster Colony Corporation was founded in 1961 and is based in Columbus, Ohio.

LANC has no big dips or corrections, even the 08 crash didn't effect this company much. How ever if you look at the 25 year growth from less than $10 right up $90. Half of the growth happened in the first 18 years from 08 onward the stock price shot up the rest of the way to $90. 18 years to get to $45 and 7 years to get the other $45 dollars up to $90 but still impressive.

LANC is showing 23% spread between the high and low of the year. The trading volume doesn't hit 90 thousand, which is extremely low for a stock that has been a dividend king for more than 50 years. The movements on the chart show that there have been some good trading opportunities during the year.

LANC has a current price of $89.29 so it seems dissapointing to see the one years target price of $86 is lower than the current stock price. Low trading volume means no interest from investors.

LANC has an ok yield an excellent score when implementing the dividend capturing strategy. The dividend's seasonal move of 2.85% makes this an optionable stock with great opportunities for profit potential. LANC goes EX-dividend in the first week of March, June, September and December.

LANC doesn't offer weekly options and there is large spread between the bid and ask prices on the all the options. There is also a large spread in the bid and ask prices on the stock price too. All the large spreads means not much interest from buyers. The one year chart shows plenty of trading opportunities and the options charts above shows there is plenty space to make money.

After all no one has more interest in your money than you.

Thanks,

James A. Gaudino Sr.

Take a closer look at the full list of Dividend Kings. The average P/E ratio amounts to 18.71. The dividend yield has a value of 2.86 percent. Price to book ratio is 2.97 and price to sales ratio 1.78. The operating margin amounts to 14.85 percent and the beta ratio is 0.76. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 0.59.

Given the fact that the next companies that are close to the 50 year mark have only raised distributions for 48 years in a row, it looks like there won’t be any additions until sometime in 2016. If there is a change in the list prior to that, it would only be because a component cuts or freezes distributions.
