Below are three companies that are serious candidates for me to consider accumulating. All three of these have one year estimated price targets at least ten percent higher than their current price. And even though they pay a meager minimum dividend of only 1%, that dividend has a growth rate of at least twenty percent per year. That's a phenomenal growth rate and one that will make any investor rich in just a few years.

I think that all three of these companies have a place in my portfolio. None of them are cheap and having limited funds makes accumulating positions in all three rather difficult. But not impossible. I believe over time I will start small positions in each of these companies and then grow those positions over time. Of the three I believe I will initiate a position in The Boeing Company first, followed by a position in The Home Depot, and then finally a position in Amgen. In the end I believe I'll have three rock solid additions to my account that will continue to grow their dividend for years to come.
