The early days of 2021 sure feel a lot different for investors compared to the first quarter of 2020. Last year we survived through a stock market crash that was especially hard on the different types of high-yield investments. At the time, I recommended great income opportunities to my Dividend Hunter subscribers on the cheap […]
My Dividend Hunter service has evolved to the point where subscribers have access to a tremendous amount of income investment information and advice. I get tons of questions for which the answers are readily available in the subscriber materials. So in 2020, I started presenting a quarterly live New Subscriber Orientation webinar. Over and over, […]
Each year I am asked by the MoneyShow folks to submit two stock recommendations for the new year. These recommendations are published on the MoneyShow website as well as mainstream financial websites, such as Forbes. I always put out one aggressive stock pick and one conservative one. Since my focus is the Dividend Hunter, both […]
Before the coronavirus pandemic and resulting financial crisis, I was lukewarm about preferred stocks.

With tomorrow being Thanksgiving I thought it might do us some good to think about all of the things we have to be thankful, even in the midst of a pandemic, recession, and polarized political environment. I’m thankful for you. You and other readers are what drive me to research investment ideas and share what […]
I recently ran across a special retirement report that included some shocking data. The report used historical investment results to help retirees project how long their savings will last. Of course, the hope is that your retirement savings last for the full length of your retirement. The scary news is that by using traditional investment […]
Last week was one for the stock market record books. Market indexes exploded higher from Monday into Tuesday. Stocks gave back some of the gains on Wednesday and Thursday. Then the markets closed out the week with a positive day. The interesting part was the magnitude of the moves and the pandemic-related news that triggered […]
What a difference a vaccine makes! I am talking, of course about how my Dividend Hunter readers—the ones getting an average of 9% yields on our portfolio holdings—feel about their income-focused, stock market investments in light of the good news last Monday about an effective coronavirus vaccine. The news lit a fire under share prices […]
