With the Federal Reserve ratcheting up interest rates, preferred share prices have tumbled. The lower prices offer the chance to lock in excellent yields of 10% or even more – all from secure dividends. However, there are some crucial features of preferred shares that you need to understand first. Let me show you how to […]
I have never believed you can see the future by comparing current economic factors to the past. The current economic conditions validate my belief: they are so different that making that type of comparison would not provide valid signals. Instead of trying to guess the future based on history, let’s look at the last three […]

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’s different this time, truly. I am speaking, of course, of the 2020 stock market crash. One effect of the pandemic-triggered market drop was large declines for every type of high-yield asset. Declines hit every income category, no matter the level of risk or safety.

I like to close out each year with a mentoring article. Something from the heart, out of the mainstream, and lead into the new year on a positive note. MarketWatch labeled me a RetireMentor.
