I don’t know if it hits you. But this time of the year, there’s something akin to a spiritual reawakening. Football’s back. Let’s just get the hook for Deflategate. Enough already. And please, no dividend deflation. It’s tough enough making money on the market without dividend cuts. Before 4 o’clock on the afternoon on September […]
The Boring Stock Dividend That Can Light Up Your Future
I got in the elevator in my building the other morning at six o’clock. A friend of mine was in there. He’s 80 years old, and was heading out for his morning cup of coffee. He’s a Starbucks $SBUX fan, and a longtime Starbucks investor who has seen his stock split twice. We all get […]
Dividend History Helps You Pull In Higher Income
New Yorkers usually can’t resist taking a shot at California. All the superficial showbiz glitz. The shortage of history. I get it. When San Francisco started to boom, New York City was already a few hundred years old. But… When Juan Cabrillo sailed into San Diego harbor in 1548, New Amsterdam didn’t exist. And in […]

High Dividend Stocks Revealed
Here on the beach in Southern California, I love to watch the tide. All the bizarre forces at play, gravitational forces triggered by the moon, the sun, and the earth’s rotation… much more refreshing and inspiring than a stock chart. But even with their predictability, the tides are as mysterious as the stock market, and […]

How Dividend Reinvestment Plans Really Work
I’m not exactly jealous, but I sure am envious. I’ll fess up and admit it. Back in 1955, Fred Schwed came up with the perfect title for a book… “Where Are the Customers’ Yachts?” The subtitle for Fred’s book is “A Good Hard Look at Wall Street.” Fred was a professional trader who lost a […]
Dividend Aristocrats On Sale
After all these years, I’m still infatuated. And I still can’t figure out why back in 1963, only 21,513 Corvette Sting Rays came off the line.
