Last week, the financial news media went crazy when the Treasury yield curve inverted. If you listened to the news, you likely thought that the economy was sitting on the verge of a recession. But let’s talk about what the current yield curve really has to tell us. The Treasury yield curve plots current Treasury […]
I don’t know if I am amused or appalled by how much a gambling mentality has taken over much of our lives. For example, I recently noticed that NFL football analysts spent as much time on the betting spread as they spent discussing teams’ potential to win or lose. You see and hear gambling terms […]
You may think I am crazy to be excited about this stock market. Major market indexes are down for the year, many former high-flying stocks have crashed, and the market volatility is tremendous. From the financial news, it appears that investors are very nervous about the value of their stock portfolios. And yet, I don’t […]
Dear Investor, Recent global events have made it clear that the world’s economies are a long way off from producing the necessary energy from entirely renewable sources. European countries were too quick to shut down coal and nuclear power plants to focus on wind and solar renewable energy sources. The transition was not close to […]

Their dividend yields are in the 6%–7% range, with lots of potential for dividend growth. One interesting aspect of these new funds is that each uses a […]
Dear Investor, I have encouraged my Dividend Hunter subscribers to put our high-yield, monthly dividends on automatic dividend reinvestment for at least the last six months. I contend that automatic reinvestment through a market downturn and recovery will quickly build wealth. Today, let me show you a little math to prove that investment hypothesis – […]
Dear Investor, It seems we are going through several years of constantly hearing about the latest crisis – such as the pandemic and war – and we must figure out the best course of action. In part because of this most recent crisis, much of the stock market has fallen to correction territory. But there […]
Dear Investor, I write this after spending a long day driving from the Reno, Nevada, area to Las Vegas, where I currently am as a speaker for the MoneyShow investors’ conference. It’s a 440-mile drive, so I had plenty of time to listen to CNBC on Sirius/XM radio. Eight hours of listening to the financial […]
