Dividends Roundtable
40 years. 13%+ annual returns. No panic required.
I’ve spent 40 years doing one thing: finding dividend-paying stocks that build wealth quietly, reliably, and through every market cycle.
Since 1986, my approach has delivered 13%+ annual returns and helped tens of thousands of investors generate over $100 billion in total returns — outpacing the S&P 500 while sleeping easier at night. Four recessions, two market crashes, and every “this time is different” narrative in between. The approach hasn’t changed because it doesn’t need to.
An industry peer gave me the nickname “The Tortoise King” for exactly this reason. Steady wins the race — and it’s not even close.
My background: I’m a managing partner of Capitalist Times, author of Power Hungry, former independent director of the NYSE-listed Miller Howard High Income Equity Fund, and a contributing editor to Forbes.com. My sector specialties — utilities, telecommunications, and energy — are the backbone of every serious dividend portfolio.
When I’m not helping investors build wealth, I’m rowing, swinging kettlebells, hiking, or camping. Reliable investing gave me the best gift there is: the freedom to spend my time the way I want. I want the same for you.
Why Dividends Roundtable?
You shouldn’t have to choose between tiny returns and stomach-churning risk. The best dividend-paying stocks let you get paid consistently while avoiding the volatility that keeps most investors up at night.
That’s not a theory. It’s a 40-year track record with receipts.
I can’t promise you’ll achieve the same results — if I could predict the future that precisely, my returns would be a lot higher than 13%. What I can tell you is this: if you subscribe, you’ll immediately join a community of self-reliant investors who share a lower-stress, more dependable approach to building wealth.
What free subscribers get
Every week, I publish analysis on dividend stocks across energy, utilities, REITs, and telecommunications. Free subscribers get the opening section of each post — where I identify the market threat or opportunity that matters right now. The storm, its size, and whether it’s headed your way.
What paid subscribers get
The full analysis — my specific response to every storm. That includes:
Two actively managed model portfolios. The Dividends 20 covers my highest-conviction dividend stocks across a broad swath of the market. The REIT 90 provides comprehensive coverage of 90 real estate investment trusts with buy/hold/sell ratings updated monthly.
Monthly live Roundtable calls. I walk through my current portfolio thinking and answer subscriber questions directly. These are recorded for anyone who can’t attend live.
The Dividends Premium community. A private chat where serious dividend investors share research, surface ideas, and hear from me between posts when something time-sensitive is developing.
No alarmism. No noise.
Unlike most of the financial media, I don’t manufacture panic for clicks. You’ll get everything you need to make informed decisions and nothing designed to spike your blood pressure. Useful analysis, clear recommendations, and a calm voice when markets aren’t.
As it should be.
