The need for instant gratification has spilled over into the world of investing. The GameStop (GME) saga was the culmination of a world in which both the financial media and social media focus on short-term news and “advice.” I hear it from many of my subscribers who see the news and hype around stocks like […]
I am surprised about how many questions I get concerning investments that may lose money. For many investors, the first question about any investment recommendation is how it can lose money. In one way, the concern makes sense since my focus is on income-producing investments. On the other hand, I wonder if they have been […]
All investors have different goals. Some are simply Wall Street hobbyists, while others are future retirees who want to store up a nest egg.

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, […]
Cisco Systems (CSCO) has struggled throughout 2020 after shares came in at $48 and are down 7% despite the strong gains observed throughout the tech sector and on the Nasdaq this year. CSCO was once considered one of the “four horseman” of the tech sector throughout the 1990s—along with Dell, Microsoft, and Intel—and one of […]
