Income Investing Today


Book Description

Income Investing Today Income Investing Today details a safe alternative to the downside risks inherent in the stock market--income securities that can provide a 7% to 8% annual cash income. With this book, fixed income expert Richard Lehmann outlines income investing concepts you need to understand, various investment vehicles, and investment strategies that will help you build a safe, diversified portfolio of investments. The investment vehicles he explains range well beyond traditional fixed income securities or creditor instruments such as bonds, to include hybrids, REITs, mutual funds, and more. He shows that the key to building a steady, growth-oriented income portfolio is to diversify over a variety of securities that depend on different drivers--that is, portfolios that are not vulnerable to any one specific economic factor such as interest rates. The ideal guide for individual investors saving for retirement and seeking more safety in their portfolios, Income Investing Today shows how a diversified collection of income securities can equal or exceed the returns from common stock with much lower risk.




The Income Investor


Book Description




Yes, You Can Be a Successful Income Investor!


Book Description

With the bursting of the stock market bubble, and after 13 rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, yields on CDs and money market funds tread at historic lows - a negative return after inflation. Gone are the days when investors could earn 5 percent interest, risk-free. With smaller savings coupled with lower returns on what savings remain, retirees and others living on fixed-income investments watch in horror as their income checks shrink with each passing month. However, there are investments that still earn a significant rate of return - and do so reliably and consistently. These fixed-income securities include bonds, real estate investment trusts, preferred stock, emerging market debt, and annuities, among others. They earn the kind of returns that baby boomers and the retirement community need in the same way they need to draw breath, yet hardly anyone knows anything about them. As 70 million Americans reach retirement age in the next 15 years, fixed-income investing will become a sociologically inevitable mega trend. Yes, You Can Be a Successful Income Investor! shows you how you can safely secure the highest possible yield from your savings, even in a treacherous investment environment.

Income Investing Explained: Your Questions Answered


Book Description

After writing two books about Income Investing, I have been contacted regularly by readers with questions and requests for more information. It’s not often one feels compelled to write a book because of questions from readers, but that’s exactly how this book came about. It’s not that readers didn’t understand the process I described, it’s just that people wanted more details, had specific suggestions and needed more information about making investing decisions, especially during different (and difficult) market conditions. In essence, people wanted an advanced outline to build upon the process described in my earlier books. So, the purpose of this book is not to repeat the process of stock evaluation, which is the foundation of my earlier books, but to provide further explanations and examples to help when making investing decisions. -Where to find ideal stocks for Income investing -How to determine under-valued stocks -How many stocks should you hold and in which sectors? -When to sell, even your long-time good stocks -What happens and how your decisions might change during a market crisis -Is it ever too late to start investing for income? I’ll also introduce a new Excel worksheet to help readers determine under-valued or expensive stocks, directing you to a new website for obtaining dividend data, and even provide a list of 45 Canadian and 35 US stocks, from which to begin your selection of quality income growth stocks. As always, these are my opinions and not professional financial advice. So, if you have the time and want to learn more, let’s continue talking about Income Investing!
