200 Stock Investing for Income
Finance & Business | Registration opens 12/2/25 9:00 AM EST
This class will show how long-term investments in dividend producing stocks can increase portfolio value, provide current income, and generate dependable future income streams.
Investing in dividend paying stocks can provide a stable and easily managed stream of income, which is especially important to retirees. Learning to select stocks with increasing stock prices and dividend prices also grows your portfolio. Investing in dividend stocks with a strong history of increasing dividends helps investors to keep up with or even surpass inflation.
This course will share proven principles to build growing, lasting, self-managed retirement income by
investing in a reasonably diversified portfolio of dividend paying stocks. Students will learn to select stocks that:
- Are likely to grow in dividends and stock value
- Are generally “safe” dividends likely to maintain and even increase in value during a recession
I will share examples of real-life investments made during retirement, and how they are managed. We will discuss how investing in bonds and annuities compares to dividend investing. We will also discuss how to establish rules of:- When to stay invested
- When to increase investment
- When to end a current investment and move to a different one
