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.

With a dividend growth strategy, dividend income provides a current cash return on […]
Profit From The Coming Rise In Interest Rates
Last week, the stock markets were shocked to discover from the Federal Reserve that interest rates might actually move higher this year. Too many years at near-zero interest rates have corrupted the investing process. While we should welcome higher interest rates, getting there won’t be painless. Investors should prepare for more stock market volatility as […]
