Thank you all so very much…

For making my first year as an Income Independence Coach a rousing success. You have no idea how satisfying and interesting it is getting y’all into this totally new mindset and putting you on the path to income independence!

Just 18 months ago, I was managing $110 million in working capital for roughly 145 individuals, families, and businesses throughout the USA. Today, I’ve coached 110 investors throughout the world and provided security selection universes to hundreds more.

I know that you have been responsible for many of my connections and that you have also been spreading the word about this “counter to the conventional Wall Street wisdom” approach to investing. Many of you are using the QDI + PT risk minimization strategies with CEFs and other forms of investment securities. This benefits all of us.

I’m also grateful for your part in pushing “Retirement Money Secrets” to overall sales in the 4,000 neighborhood. 3,450 at Amazon, another 315 at Audible, and the balance through other book and ebook sales outlets. I’m told that this is an unusually high number for a non-fiction finance book in its first year. And, as you’ve heard me say before, the more books sold, the more CEF investors there will be, and that benefits all of us in every imaginable way.

Together, we can change the investment mindset of thousands of additional investors, and perhaps eventually, bring a new income-focused sense of fiduciary responsibility to a financial services industry that, at the moment, really couldn’t care less!

So once again, thank you for helping me bring this message to so many investors so quickly.

The DOW 30 - Really Interesting Numbers The DOW 30 companies (best in the world) pay shareholders about 3.30% of in-your-pocket income. Less than the 4% needed in retirement, without including management fees, if any, and a small fraction of company earnings. Their collective P/E ratio is an incredibly speculative 43.37/1. Not one is in single digits, as most of them were in the past. My universe of nearly 100 high quality Equity Closed End Funds allows you to own all these companies and pays...
