That's not a typo. Four Hundred Eighty-Two Percent. Here's how to do it yourself. Oh, for my regular readers, I guess I should probably mention that I bought some Paychex (PAYX) stock a little while back. It wasn't even two months ago. I didn't get around to talking about it here, so let's real quick talk about why I did that. It wasn't a particular catalyst coming up or anything like that, I just happen to think the business provides a needed service and is pretty unique in that sense. The company has a long term history of good dividend growth. in the range of 10% annually. It's an easy to understand business that helps companies manage their payrolls. I was looking to diversify at the time, and they fit a good role for that. This is why I sold them:Paychex apparently had a good quarterly result. To be honest, I haven't even looked at it, but I know that I had been up just over 16% on the shares when I sold them today. That increase in price is in the range of what they tend to fluctuate during a full year. So basically by selling I took a full year's gain off the table for what wasn't even two months of work. If you're still holding through that rise, there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Enjoy your 10% year over year increase in your dividend in 2017. This is what I did with the money: For each single share of Paychex I sold, I bought 19 shares of Navios Acquisitions (NNA), and 3 shares of Navios Midstream Partners (NAP). Both pay dividends, and are yielding 14.08%, and 15.17%, respectively. NAP has seen some dividend growth in the past, but for now I'll leave it as is. One share of Paychex will earn you $1.84 in dividends over the next year if you continue to hold it. 19 shares of NNA will pay you $3.80 over that time, and 3 shares of NAP will pay you $5.07. A total of $8.87 between them, or 482% more money making just 3 trades. That took maybe 1 minute of work between them to make the changes. Obviously there are risks to consider here, but I've gone over a lot of that in my other articles, so you are welcome to review those first before making any switches. Myself, I really think this is a safe enough move to go for it. Wish I could get my day job to give me a 482% raise, but I'll take this for today.
