Shoebox Investor

What is a shoebox investor? An investor who generally pays himself first. The idea is that any money you can store in a shoebox or piggy bank, should be invested in the market. It is not how much you invest, it is the time value of money you should focus on. The earlier you put the money in the market, the longer you keep it in, the higher the chances of reaping the benefits of accumulating dividends. The reinvested dividends will buy you more shares.

Stock of the day- Froot Loops?



Today's stock is one of my favorites. It is best to buy stocks in companies you are familiar with and products you use. Odds are others use the products we are grown to love. With Kellogg's direct purchase plan, you can automate your purchase on a monthly basis. With annual dividend payout increases, it is no doubt, this is a solid company.












With the PE ratio of 18.22 and EPS of over $2 with a dividend of 2.5%, this continues to be a good stock to buy and hold.
