Big money is not in the buying or selling, but in the waiting.
Charlie Munger
For my own portfolio, I like to find ASX shares that are growing their dividends. Growth is an essential part of the dividend equation for me. I want to see that the dividend increases are funded by growing earnings and/or growing underlying asset values. I also have a portion of my portfolio invested in an ETF that picks undervalued global businesses with strong competitive advantages.
For Rask Media, I have an interest in covering technology (and tech-related) businesses with a global growth story, as well as cyclical companies that are cheaply priced because they’re at a low point in the cycle, such as retailers and resource businesses which could benefit strongly in the medium-term.

ASX dividend shares are great ideas for investors seeking long-term income from the stock market. Here are two I love.

The Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX:WOW) share price is on watch after announcing it’s selling down its stake of Endeavour Group Ltd (ASX:EDV).

The Coles Group Ltd (ASX:COL) share price is under the spotlight, and slightly down, after reporting its FY24 third quarter sales.

The two ASX share ideas in this article look like they have lots of growth potential, in my opinion. One idea is Airtasker Ltd (ASX:ART).

The BHP Group Ltd (ASX:BHP) share price is down 0.3% following Anglo American plc’s (LON:AAL) response to the takeover offer.
