Why I Just Wrote a Complete Stranger a Check for $1 Million

How I stumbled across one of the greatest resources an investor could hope for…

And how it can help you guarantee that you’ll never outlive or be unsure of your income.

Dear Income Investor,

I recently had a meeting with a man, that ended with me writing him a very large check… and that decision could have a huge impact on your investments and your ability to have enough income in retirement.

I’m not allowed to reveal the name of this mystery man — we’ll call him Mr. X…

What I can tell you is that he was a wildly successful businessman, including a stint as the CEO of a huge, international, manufacturing company.

Several years ago, his company received a highly lucrative offer to be bought out…

The kind of offer you don’t walk away from… and the kind of offer that resulted in Mr. X receiving a payout so high, he never has to work again.

Mr. X was just 40 years old.

And yet, in the days that followed — with his millions safely deposited in the bank — all he could think was, “What’s next?”

He was voluntarily unemployed at an age when most workers are either breaking into middle management or having a mid-life crisis.

He would never get another paycheck and he was still 27 years from collecting a Social Security check he’d likely never need.

And yet, all he could do was worry. After all, his money would need to last 30, 40, even 50 years or more.

He certainly wasn’t going to struggle…

But would he have enough money to keep living the life he’d grown accustomed to?

Would he lose half of it — or more — in the next market crash? Heck, he might have to endure several market crashes in the decades ahead.

So, Mr. X did what most of us would do with a large windfall — he found a broker to invest it for him.

What Happened Next Probably Won’t
Come as a Surprise to You…

The results Mr. X got from his broker were abysmal. And yet, he still had to pay a huge fee for him to “manage” his money.

So Mr. X decided he could do it better himself. He also knew he wanted to focus on dividend stocks, so he set out looking for a resource that had everything he wanted…

• A historical database of dividend-paying investments
• The ability to screen investments by different factors
• Customizable portfolios to track investments
• An algorithm that predicts the amount of dividend income he’d receive

But he couldn’t find anything that he really liked.

Some sites had the database, but not the screening. Others lacked the custom portfolios designed to work perfectly with dividend-paying investments.

So, he pulled together a small computer programming team and he built a customized screening tool that did everything a dividend investor could want.

Then he bought the data feed he’d need to screen it.

And, since he already had those parts, he decided he might as well build a quick website and see if he could get a handful of subscribers to pay for his data feed.

It’s not that he needed the money. It was that he figured others might be interested in this new screening capability too.

And boy was he right.

Before he knew it, people were flocking to his site for dividend information, building custom portfolios and emailing themselves the results of customized dividend searches.

But, as successful as this new site was, he had no desire to run another company.

That’s about the time I discovered his website and arranged to meet him… and then I did the only thing that made sense.

I’ll tell you what I did in a moment, but first, allow me to introduce myself…

I’m Your Investing Advocate.

My name is Roger Michalski.

I’m the Publisher at Eagle Financial Publications, home of investment gurus Dr. Mark Skousen, Jim Woods, Nicholas Vardy, Bryan Perry, Bob Carlson and Mike Turner.

I’ve been the publisher here at Eagle for 13 years, and I’ve been in the publishing industry for more than 25 years.

In that time, I’ve had tens of thousands of investors put their faith and their retirements in the hands of my editors, so I take my commitment to ensuring we can provide every advantage possible very seriously.

As part of that commitment, I make three promises to investors like you…

1. I will stay on top of what’s going on in the economy and the markets, so my team can deliver the right information at the right time…
2. I will ensure that, when my editors make recommendations for YOUR portfolio, we’ve done our due diligence to ensure we’re behind the picks 100%.
3. I will never stop looking for investor tools and strategies that will give my editors and our readers an advantage over other investors.

Will there be some mistakes? Of course. There’s not a financial publisher, analyst or advisor out there who hasn’t messed up from time to time.

But my job is to make sure that my editors have every resource available to help limit those mistakes, minimize risk and maximize profit…

Because, the truth is, when you do well, we do well. And when you don’t, we know you’ll find somebody else.

That’s why I’ve reached out today to tell you about the latest resource I found in my never-ending search for an edge in the markets.

I Loved this Resource So Much,
I BOUGHT the Entire Website,
Database and Computer Algorithms!

Looking for an edge in the markets is like hoping to stumble across a long-lost copy of the Declaration of Independence, or a near-mint Honus Wagner baseball card, while hopping from one Saturday flea market to another…

It rarely ever happens. But, when it does, you feel like you’ve struck gold, high-fiving everyone in sight and insisting it was only a matter of time until it happened to you.

That’s exactly how I felt when I stumbled across Mr. X’s website.

Like Mr. X, I had been scouring the internet, looking for the perfect dividend-investing resource for my editors and our readers…

I wanted a website where I could rank dividend investments in a variety of ways, not just based on yield…

I wanted a website where I could instantly find out which companies where raising their dividends and — more importantly — which companies were cutting their dividends…

And I wanted a website where I could track my income portfolios and estimate how much income I would have in the years ahead.

But, like Mr. X, I struggled to find everything I needed without jumping from one website to another…

And it was nearly impossible to manage an income portfolio… until I found the website he created.

As I told you before, Mr. X set out to create a comprehensive database and analytical resource that would benefit any dividend investor.

The end result of his effort is DividendInvestor.com – the ultimate dividend resource available today, and your Rosetta stone for unlocking the complexities of the dividend market.

In fact, I was so blown away, as I uncovered one amazing feature after another, that I knew this was just the type of market edge I had set out to find.

So I did the only thing that made sense at the time…

I pulled out the corporate checkbook and bought the whole darn thing…

The 20-year historic database of dividend information…

The ultra-slick and easy to use website…

The under-the-hood analytical tools…

And the reporting functions that allow you to download the results of any filter you run or email yourself a wide range of automated email alerts.

Allow me to introduce you to…

The Only Dividend Site You’ll Ever Need

It’s one of the most powerful, dividend-detecting resources available to investors on or off Wall Street.

A strong indication of just how powerful this resource is, and how much of an impact it can have for you and your money, is when investment professionals are using it to help manage their clients’ portfolios:

Geoff Grabacz of Quantitative Partners kept his praise simple, saying:

Greg Donaldson of Donaldson Capital Management in Evansville, IN, says:

Over the next few minutes, I’m going to show you just how impressive this tool is with a series of short demonstration videos.

I also want to prove that this tool delivers a significant market edge by giving you a list of 20 of the best dividend investments in the market today, as identified by DividendInvestor.com.

I’ll tell you about the top five dividend all-stars — those stocks that have consistently paid out and increased their dividends for decades. These are the types of stocks that helped make Warren Buffett both rich and famous.

I’ll also tell you about some of the best income-paying funds in the market today. Whether you’re looking for traditional mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or closed-end funds, I can tell you exactly which funds are currently sitting in the pole position when it comes to the race for consistent, reliable income.

Altogether, I’ll pre-screen the world of dividend investments for you, and send you my current Top 20 with absolutely no obligation on your part.

What’s more, the average yield of the ten stocks in each list range from a market-beating 2.3% to a whopping 10.7% — that’s more than FIVE times the average yield of the S&P 500!

You could build an entire income-generating portfolio based solely on this Top 20… but, as I’ll show you in a moment, the choices are endless and they’re entirely up to you.

So, let’s get to it and I’ll show you around the site. Click on the play button below to view the video.

But understand I didn’t cover everything in these videos, so let me recap what I did show you and some of the things you’ll get to explore on your own.

The Tools You Need to Build a Rock-Solid
Income Portfolio, All in One Place

As you’ve just seen in these videos, DividendInvestor.com is arguably the most powerful, dividend-screening tool available today.

And you’ll have access to no less than eight pre-screened dividend lists ranking stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, MLPs, REITs and more… able to turn each one or a combination of them all into an instant dividend-paying portfolio.

To show you what I mean, I’ve gone ahead and put together that Top 20 list I told you about…

Here’s Your FREE Dividend-Paying Portfolio…

Investors who chase yield and blindly pick dividend stocks often get eaten alive by the markets.

Picking the right dividend investments can make or break a comfortable retirement…

And it can make the difference between relying on Social Security for food and rent or using those checks for a vacation to Maui.

That’s where DividendInvestor.com can help. Using the database and tools on the site, you can screen, sort, and identify the best dividend stocks in the market today.

To show you how easy it is and how profitable it can be, I’d like to send you a copy of The Top 20 Dividend Investments in America. This report includes four pre-screened Top Five Lists I’ve already assembled for you, including:

• Top Five Dividend AllStar Investments: If you’re going to rely on dividends for income, you need stability. These five-star investments have been paying dividends as far back as 1891, and increasing dividends for a combined 303 years.

  With an average yield of 2.88%, these 5 AllStar investments are some of the safest and most reliable income investments in the market today.

• Top Five Monthly Dividend Payers: Get 60 paychecks a year from these five, rock-solid companies. With an average yield of 4.4%, turn a $100,000 portfolio into an extra $4,400 a year.

  That’s an extra $367 a month in your account with little to no effort on your part.

• Top Five Income ETFs: Automatic diversification AND income. Here are the top five, high-yielding exchange-traded funds in the market today. No need to worry about a single earnings miss or corporate scandal halting your income checks when you invest in these funds.

  These funds all receive three stars from our AllStar ranking system, and have been increasing dividends consistently for at least five years.

• Top Five High-Yield Tax Dodgers: Everyone loves to get one over on the IRS, and the companies in this list do it legally. Using tax-friendly corporate structures, these REITs, MLPs and BDCs are legally obligated to pass nearly all their profits directly to you.

  That means BIG bucks that you can funnel directly to your retirement villa (no account in the Cayman Islands required).

In a world of over 1,500 dividend-paying stocks and funds, these 20 have risen to the top of the dividend world…

These are the highest-yielding stocks and ETFs in the market that have ALSO received a Dividend AllStar™ rating of at least three stars.

By placing this additional requirement, I’ve ensured that you’re getting only those stocks and funds that have demonstrated the ability to perform well and reliably pay dividends for years and years.

That means you can use them to build an income portfolio that can withstand the volatility of the markets, and continue to pay safe, consistent dividends in the months and years ahead.

And, with an average yield of 4.9%, you could set yourself up to receive nearly $5,000 in dividend payments, for every $100,000 in your portfolio, without ever drawing down your principal.

The Top 20 Dividend Investments in America is valued at $49 – a steal, considering you can build an entire income portfolio strictly from these 20 picks. But, in a moment, I’m going to tell you how to get it absolutely FREE…

First, I’d like to tell you about another report I’ve compiled for you.

My Editors Recommended These Picks…
And Then I Verified Them Using DividendInvestor.com

I told you earlier that part of my responsibility to you is to ensure that my editors have every tool available to help make the best investment recommendations.

But, I also told you that we all do our part to make sure we’re behind each and every recommendation 100%.

That’s why, after I asked my editors to put together their favorite income investments in the market today, I double-checked their work by looking at the data on DividendInvestor.com.

I looked at the dividend history, I compared them to other stocks and funds in their sectors, and I plugged them into a custom Score Card to see just how strong the portfolio was and how much income I could expect in the years ahead.

In Eagle’s Top Five Income Stocks for 2017, I’ll reveal the five best places for your money today, if you’re committed to collecting safe, consistent dividend payments.

• Pick #1: Our first pick isn’t just the best pick of 2017… it’s been one of Dr. Mark Skousen’s best picks for the past four years.

  First recommended in 2012, this company has been paying a healthy monthly dividend since 2006. With a current yield of 6.5%, you’ll be collecting 3 times the average yield of the S&P 500 — and that’s before the two special dividend this company has been regularly paying out each year.

  Even better, if we look at the dividend projection provided on DividendInvestor.com, we can see that the projected 10-year yield is a whopping 9.67%.

• Pick #2: Another one picked straight from Dr. Skousen’s income portfolio is a safe bet on the rebound in the energy sector. This company has a strong history – verified on DividendInvestor.com – of increasing its dividend every quarter since it first went public back in 2004.

  Currently sporting a whopping 7% dividend yield, this company isn’t necessarily one of the highest-yielding stocks in the oil sector. But, thanks to a smart, steady business model, it is one of the safest high-yield stocks in the sector.

• Pick #3: When it comes to ETFs, my go-to editor is Jim Woods. His current favorite income investment is one that achieves all the benefits of an income ETF. It’s diversified with holdings in some of the strongest companies in America and around the world.

  Jim’s recommended ETF has a long track-record of sustained growth and dividend payments. And it’s demonstrated a very stable return rate through very volatile markets with 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year returns averaging over 7% per year.
  With a current yield of 5.6%, this ETF is one of the safest investments you can make this year.

• Pick #4: The fourth pick comes from Eagle’s income investing expert, Bryan Perry. Bryan was brought in specifically to help investors struggling to collect enough income from their portfolios… and he’s delivered. One of his top picks this year has been a Business Development Company, or BDC.

  A BDC is a company that funds and invests in small- and medium-sized businesses. The BDC gets a tax break from Uncle Sam in exchange for agreeing to pay out nearly all of their profits to shareholders. Bryan’s top BDC pick achieves this by paying you payments that add up to an annual yield of 11.88% each and every month — almost 1% return per month!

• Pick #5: Your fifth and final pick also comes from Bryan Perry. Bryan has identified not just one of his top picks for this year, but probably one of the top picks for the next several years.
  One of the few things Republicans and Democrats agree on is that the country is in dire need of an infrastructure upgrade. That means there are a number of companies that will make tons of money in the coming years… but picking the right ones is tough.

  Fortunately, Bryan has found a way to make a conservative play in the infrastructure sector, without guessing who will win the government funding lottery. And, while you wait for Congress to finally pass an infrastructure bill and this fund to soar, you can collect a very healthy yield of 7.5%.

That’s five of the best income investments in the market today, courtesy of some of my best editors.

You could build an entire portfolio out of the five plays in Eagle’s Top Five Income Stocks for 2017…

And with an average yield of 7.68%, you could collect $7,680 of income for every $100,000 invested in these five plays.

That’s well over three times the average yield of the S&P 500, and more than five times the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries.

Eagle’s Top Five Income Stocks for 2017 is also valued at $49, but you don’t have to pay anything for it today…

Because I’ll send it to you absolutely FREE — along with your free copy of The Top 20 Dividend Investments in America — when you agree to test-drive DividendInvestor.com.

Unlimited Access for Less Than $1 a Day

I haven’t even shown you everything DividendInvestor.com has to offer and I’m sure you’d agree it’s worth a more in-depth look.

That’s why I’d like to make you an offer today to try it for yourself… an offer today that is an absolute bargain considering how much I paid Mr. X for the site.

So what is access to a resource like this worth?

I already told you that both Mr. X and I looked high and low trying to find a single site focused on dividend investments with everything we wanted… and we couldn’t find one.

That in itself makes DividendInvestor.com a very unique service.

For the sake of comparison, hedge funds, brokerage houses, and professional analysts pay $24,000 per year to put a Bloomberg terminal on their desk that gives them access to virtually every piece of market data…

Which means they could easily justify charging you thousands of dollars a year for access to comprehensive dividend information.

$2,000… $5,000… or even $10,000 a year is within the realm of possibility.

But, as I said before, I see it as my responsibility to help investors like you get an edge in the markets. Charging thousands of dollars for that edge is NOT reasonable.

DividendInvestor.com normally costs $49 a month. And subscribers paying for a full year get a discounted rate of $499.90 – that’s right, two months FREE!

But, for a limited time, I’m offering new subscribers a deep discount…

You can get unlimited monthly access to DividendInvestor.com for just $29.99 a month – that’s a discount of 40% off the regular monthly rate.

For many investors, that’s pocket change and it’s on par, or far less than most other investing resources.

For less than a dollar a day, you can make a huge impact on your lifestyle or retirement
using this site’s industry-leading features, including:

• Dividend AllStar™ Ranking
• Dividend Scorecard™
• Dividend Capture Calendar™
• Monthly Dividend Directory™
• Closed-End Fund Directory™
• ETF Directory™
• MLP Directory™
• REIT Directory™
• DRIP Directory™
• And so much more.

When you agree to try your first month of DividendInvestor.com, I’ll also send you the two reports I’ve already told you about…

I’ll send both of these free reports – valued at $49 each – absolutely free just for agreeing to test-drive DividendInvestor.com for yourself.

But I’ll be honest, I don’t think you’re going to be satisfied with just one month.

You see, once you realize how valuable it is to have dividend information available 24/7…

And once you start receiving your custom e-mail alerts highlighting dividend cuts, dividend increases, and surprise special dividends you can cash in on…

And once you see how easy it is to create up to five custom portfolios AND get automatic email updates about your portfolios…

I think you’re going to want to keep returning to DividendInvestor.com month after month, especially after you’ve created ScoreCards you want to follow.

That’s why I’ve arranged a special annual price that will allow you to lock in your subscription and never miss one of your automated updates.

Through this special invitation, you can claim an entire year of access to DividendInvestor.com for just $299.90.

That means you can get two FREE months of access per year simply by choosing the annual payment option.

But, that’s not the only benefit you’ll get by going with a yearly rate…

Sign up for one year of DividendInvestor.com and I’ll also send you three more reports perfectly suited for income investors like you, straight from Eagle’s top-notch investment team:

With any of the plays recommended in the above reports, feel free to plug them into DividendInvestor.com and see how they rank…

Verify their profitability, look at their dividend history, look at how much your income payments will be one, three, even five years from now, and then invest where it makes the most sense for you.

You get all three of these reports from Eagle Financial’s industry-renown investment experts…

Plus the two reports I told you about earlier: The Top 20 Dividend Investments in America and Eagle’s Top Five Income Stocks for 2017…

As well as full access to the most powerful, dividend-detecting resource in the world…

Just for signing up to a full year of access to DividendInvestor.com.

But you get one more thing as well…

You Have as Long as You Need to Prove to Yourself that this is the Best Dividend
Resource Available Today!

I’m confident that when you take a look around DividendInvestor.com, you’re going to end up seeing the same thing I did when I first found it…

Everything you need to be a successful income investor all in one place.

I’m so confident, I’m going to give you as much time as you need to decide if it’s right for you.

See how all the dividend picks in your free reports rank…

Check out the pre-screened lists and see if some of your favorite stocks or funds are on them…

Plug your current portfolio into a Dividend ScoreCard and see how much income you should expect in 2020 or 2025…

And setup your own custom alerts so you start getting emails about dividend increases, decreases and special dividend announcements.

Then see what impact this site has on YOUR portfolio.

If at any time you decide that DividendInvestor.com doesn’t meet every expectation I’ve set for it — whether that’s in your first month or tenth month in an annual subscription…

You can cancel and get a refund on the balance of your account. No questions asked. You’ll even get to keep your free reports with my compliments.

That’s how confident I am in the power of DividendInvestor.com to help you build an income portfolio that will deliver all the money you’ll need in retirement.

But there’s one more thing you should know about this offer…

I Can’t Add More than
1,000 New Members Right Now

As I already told you, Mr. X had a list of subscribers already in place…

But since acquiring the site we’ve made a number of improvements and under-the-hood changes.

That’s why – before we open it up to tens of thousands of new subscribers – we’d like to invite you to be one of the first 1,000 beta testers for the new and improved DividendInvestor.com.

I want to be clear here – I’m not asking you to test an incomplete site. I also don’t think you’ll run into any problems.

I already think DividendInvestor.com is the best resource of its kind on the web, but I’ll take any suggestions for improvement I can get.

That’s where you come in as a beta tester.

Once you’ve gained access to the site, I want you to try everything I’ve told you about, and anything else you can think of.

Then, once you’ve had some time on the site, I plan to come back to you and ask for your feedback and suggestions.

You won’t be obligated to reply, but you can certainly play a role in making the site even better.

But, there’s one more thing you should keep in mind…

As the Publisher here at Eagle Financial Publications, I’ve got some leeway in giving you and 999 other new subscribers a 40% discount in exchange for your role as a beta tester and your feedback.

But the rope I’m given by my Board of Directors stops there. Once we’ve given these spots out and we open it up to the next group of subscribers, I fully expect the rate to go up.

Once we’ve hit 1,000 new members, we’ll stop taking new members until you’ve had time to monitor the site and give your feedback. Only then will we consider re-opening the site to new subscribers.

Because I can’t tell you whether that will be one month, three months, or even 12 months from now…

I encourage you to grab your spot as a beta tester on DividendInvestor.com right now.

When you do, I’ll rush you an email with your new login information so you can immediately gain access to the website.

I’ll also rush you the free reports you’re entitled to, based on the subscription period you choose:

Remember, only the 1-Year subscription period means you’re fully protected by our lifetime, money-back guarantee entitling you to a refund of the balance of your account, no matter where you are in your subscription cycle…

And the free reports you receive are always yours to keep with no further obligation. It’s my way of saying ‘Thank You’ for giving DividendInvestor.com a try.
