We are now officially into Trump 2.0, and here’s the first thing I can tell you: This new administration will hurt the returns of folks who simply buy an index fund like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and call it a day. What we’re now embarking on is a true stock picker’s market—a time when […]

What Is A Dividend Disaster?
I never thought my friend Large Lou Sapino would be a credible source of good dividend stocks investing wisdom. We get together a few times a year when he drags me into Danny’s on Orange Avenue in Coronado, California. I’ll nurse a beer and he’ll be drinking vodka. Actually, he’s lecturing me on vodka. It’s […]
High Yield Dividend Stocks For Safety
On a mild Saturday night a few weeks back, I went with a good friend to Donovan’s on Prospect Street in LaJolla.

Warren Buffett’s Trying To Destroy The Lives Of Retirees!
I’ve been keeping my eye on Congress lately, and I’ve got to tell you, I don’t like anything I’ve seen. Unfortunately, our country is being led by a group of self serving, self dealing liars.
