As mentioned in Part-1 of this series, I set out to write a wrap-up of investing strategies for 2012. While I was writing the post, the thought occurred to me why not ask the other well known bloggers and financial writers what they think? I was delighted with the response I received, and it’s now turned into this much larger two-part post. Here is a recap what I sent them, hoping for a small paragraph: “Short of hauling out the crystal ball, because your guess is as good as mine, I also wanted to know what sectors are in your radar, or even what stocks are on your favourite list – if you’re so inclined to share with my readers.” “What do you think is the most important lesson investors need to remember going into 2012? Where do you think the best investment opportunities for investors will be? “ Here is what these financial bloggers and writers think are the best investment strategies and opportunities for 2012 (Part -2): Derek Foster – The Idiot Millionaire ...

I originally set out to write a wrap-up of investing strategies for 2012. The focus of the article was going to be much the same propaganda I usually spout, such as keeping a balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds, sticking with a plan through thick and thin, investing in solid dividend paying stocks, and not getting lured into the high yield trap etc. But I’ve said that so many times before… While I was writing this post, the thought occurred to me why not ask the other well known bloggers and financial writers what they think? I’ve corresponded with all these authors and writers, some on a regular basis. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to share their wisdom with my readers. Here is what I sent them, hoping for a small paragraph: “Short of hauling out the crystal ball, because your guess is as good as mine, I also wanted to know what sectors are in your radar, or even what stocks are on your favourite list – if you’re so inclined to share with my ...

Part-2 If you haven’t already, be sure to read Part -1 of my interview with Susan… Susan P. Brunner has over 40 years investing experience. She started investing in the 1970’s, and by 1999 she was able to stop working and live mostly off her dividends. Susan is a dividend stock investor, and over the years she has tried many different investment approaches and strategies. When I asked her about this, Susan said that she tried them all, but dividend stock investing has been the strategy that has worked for her. As Susan points out in this interview, don’t fixate on the overall value of your stocks, but on the dividend income you are receiving. Who can argue with 40 years investing experience? Dividend Ninja: Susan, welcome back! Susan: Thank you for having me! One thing I wanted to add is that when I was laid off in 1999, I knew that I had reached my portfolio goal for stopping working . But I did not know if I could live off my income.  The problem was that I was looking at ...

Susan P. Brunner has over 40 years investing experience. She started investing in the 1970’s, and by 1999 she was able to stop working and live mostly off her dividends. Susan is a dividend stock investor, and over the years she has tried many different investment approaches and strategies. When I asked her about this, Susan said that she tried them all, but dividend stock investing has been the strategy that has worked for her. Back in April, I published my controversial post on living off dividend income – Can You Live Off Your Dividends? Susan left a couple of comments, and at that point I knew she was somebody with a wealth of experience and knowledge that I wanted to interview. With over 40 year’s investment experience, I really wanted Susan to share her experience and knowledge with others. That is really the point of this interview, to listen to someone who has successfully been implementing the dividend investing strategy for decades. I feel the interview with Susan is ...
