Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
The stock market doesn't seem to know what it is doing these days. For the past several weeks you find yourself in the black one moment then tumbling back into the red the next. All the while you are wondering what is to become of your dividends and wondering whether the companies are going to keep paying out.
On top of all this stress, you also have to worry about your financial future. You have shares in stocks that pay out dividends, but these companies aren't paying what they once were. The S&P today is only paying 1.9%. Even if you have a million dollar portfolio, you are only looking to bring home $19,000 per year.
What many financial gurus are spouting these days is how you should pull 4% of your dividend income. But this strategy is flawed. That is why Brett Owens the Chief Investment strategist from the Contrarian Income Report has come up with a better and more efficient way to save for retirement.
