Mission Statement:
Achieve Absolute Financial Security With The Power of Dividends
Welcome to The Dividend Machine! My name is Bill Spetrino, and my goal with The Dividend Machine is to help you build your own income-generating investment portfolios while always living by my mantra: “Keep your investments boring, and the rest of your life fun and exciting.”
I realize that may not seem like the smart way to introduce you to The Dividend Machine. Heck, it seems everyone else out there in the financial marketplace is trying to sell you on “exciting investment opportunities” that promise nothing but “incredible heart-pounding growth!” How can I continue to attract subscribers with a sales pitch that touts “boring” investments? Have I lost my mind?
Well, my friends, I’m here to tell you, chasing high-growth stocks may be fun, and deliver the same thrill as striking a jackpot in Vegas when you stumble onto a winner, but here’s the dirty little secret in pursuing growth at all costs, one that those fly-by-night investment advisers and pundits won’t tell you: Just like Sin City, in the end, most people who jump from stock to stock in the hunt for a major Wall Street score lose money or, at best, break even.
If you’re anything like me and the people I’ve advised, that’s not an acceptable fate for your retirement nest egg. You can’t afford making bets that won’t pay off. I personally can’t stand the idea of a portfolio with 65 percent winners and 35 percent losers, which is what many high-growth-chasers aim for, with the misguided idea that the winners will outweigh those losers.
Instead of that often fruitless and dangerous chase, Dividend Machine subscribers want two things above all else: Safety and income. My “boring” investment strategy delivers on both counts.
My aim is unearthing the true bargains in the marketplace. The Dividend Machine portfolio is made up of mostly large multinational companies that are involved in “boring” businesses like consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, retail, banking, and established technology.
The companies that pass my rigorous multi-step vetting process must have a number of key characteristics. I seek out organizations that own resonant brand names, possess a pristine balance sheet, have a cash stash to help them survive and thrive in difficult markets, and are in an industry where they hold a strong competitive advantage.
Others may call my approach “boring.” I don’t care. My results speak for themselves. While other newsletter services have great years and also suffer incredibly lousy years, I’ve continued on a path of sure and steady gains. I’m proud to say I’ve helped tens of thousands of readers as they’ve built their own Dividend Machine, which deliver dependable, growing income for life.
