This may be my first post on this site, but I’ve actually been blogging for years. I have a successful financial newsletter called Profitable Investing which includes a twice weekly journal for my subscribers. I have thoroughly enjoyed the freedom that my journal allows me—no word counts or print deadlines—but I want more.

That’s why I’ve started my own blog. I expect that this forum will focus on my passion of finding low-risk stocks that I can share with you, but I expect the conversation will widen from there.

My general investment philosophy comes from my “thrifty Yankee” upbringing. I won’t overpay for a stock or a fund and I think dividends are the key to growing wealth in this day and age.

I’m a plain speaker and I tell it like it is, so get ready for the truth and, hopefully, a bit of fun as we navigate through the current and future market turbulence.
