From Neil George ... I’ve used my strategy not only to enrich readers of my various publications, but also for my own portfolio, which I’ve depended on for the lion’s share of my income since July 2003. In a little more than 6 ½ years, this approach has more than doubled investors’ money, with gains of 123% – while paying average dividend yields over 8%. But that’s not all. 
My plan, which I call The Pay Me Strategy, delivers three essential, highly prized benefits to investors: Big Income: A solid base of high-dividend securities that – come what may – can take whatever the market dishes out and continue paying their shareholders a generous living wage . Inflation-Beating Growth: Stocks of companies that are leaders in strategic industries, with proven long-term growth that offsets inflation risks and builds your retirement funds. A chance at the next blockbusters-in-waiting that can be found in the dark and dusty nooks of the NYSE’s “Garage” or the great bargain-hunting domains of the over the counter markets. You might be surprised to learn that delivering these benefits is not as complicated as it sounds. In fact, I designed The Pay Me Strategy to be as simple and clear a way to invest as you can find anywhere. Let me give you a quick primer on how The Pay Me Strategy works. If you want your portfolio to generate high and rising income to live on, then you need to do what I do: I demand that the companies I invest in for the base of my portfolio put me first when it comes to divvying up the profits. This means that the stocks I buy MUST pay me. I don’t want any IOU’s – “growth” stocks that someday might gain in price, if all the right pieces fall into place. I want and need cash coming into my portfolio right now – and it had better be in hefty sums that are steady, or better yet, rising. What do I mean by “hefty sums?” Well, for the average Wall Street guru, big dividends tend to mean 3 or 4 percent. That’s not much of a dividend in my book, and certainly – for most investors – not enough to pay for our retirement! Why settle for such measly yields when there are plenty of stocks, bonds and funds out there with solid, cash-generating assets paying 7%, 8% 9% and more – securities with proven ability to withstand bear markets? |
